[Chorus]
Leave the porch light on, I'm coming home soon
Leave the porch light on, I'm coming home soon

[Verse 1]
It doesn't get easier, it just gets old
I'm tired of growing and only visiting home
Running laps on this rock, making it up as I go
All I do is go

[Verse 2]
Another day down the drain, I miss my mom and my dad
I set up camp in the past and only ever get sad
I moved an hour away to find myself, but now I
Find the only thing I'm missing is the old times

[Chorus]
Leave the porch light on, I'm coming home soon
Leave the porch light on, I'm coming home soon

[Verse 3]
I cry when nothing is right, I cry when everything's great
I laugh at all the wrong times, I never know what to say
I'm reading books looking for the latest sweet escape
Trying to live in the present, and failing every day
[Verse 4]
I call my sister and she talks me off of a cliff
I call my brothers and they make me laugh 'til I'm sick
I keep on coming back home and getting too nostalgic
Oh, to be 18 out late on Friday night again

[Chorus]
Leave the porch light on, I'm coming home soon
Leave the porch light on, I'm coming home soon

[Bridge]
Don't be a stranger, don't go away
Promise I'll come, but can't promise I'll stay
I'll paint my bedroom walls, I'll rearrange
I'll let the memories keep me in one place

[Outro]
Leave the porch light on
