Song Lyrics One More Porchlight
Rolling down this old dirt road, moonlight on my skin,
Heart’s heavy with the burdens of where I've been.
That old bulb burns like the words I never said,
Echoing through shadows where my dreams had bled.
Every mile I pass is a chance I left behind,
In the rearview mirror, her memories unwind.
I can see her laughing under that soft glow,
But I keep on driving, too scared to let her know.
One more porch light, one more sleepless night,
Every time I drive by, I just can't find the fight.
What if I had pulled in and made everything right?
But I keep on rolling, under this starry sky.
Wind whispers secrets as the trees lean in close,
Every turn I take feels like what I miss the most.
That light's a beacon, but my heart still hesitates,
Wishing I could turn back, rewrite the stakes.
It’s funny how the silence can speak so loud,
Like the “I love you's” hidden in this lonely crowd.
Staring at the glow that haunts my thoughts tonight,
Just one more chance and I’d make it all right.
One more porch light, one more sleepless night,
Every time I drive by, I just can't find the fight.
What if I had pulled in and made everything right?
But I keep on rolling, under this starry sky.
Driving past those memories of laughter and of tears,
Built a wall of regrets across all these years.
She’s waiting for a hero, but I fear I’ll never be,
Just a ghost in the night, forever unaware and free.
With every mile I’m learning that this pain’s my own,
But that porch light keeps shining, a memory overgrown.
Maybe someday I'll gather the courage to fight,
But for now, I’m just passing, lost in the night.
One more porch light, one more sleepless night,
Every time I drive by, I just can't find the fight.
What if I had pulled in and made everything right?
But I keep on rolling, under this starry sky.
So I’ll carry these thoughts, like a stone in my shoe,
Regrets weighing heavy as the dawn breaks anew.
One more porch light flickers, I’ll drive on by,
Hoping someday I’ll find the strength to say goodbye.
