the someday porch
Lyrics
Verse 1
we became best friends at fourteen
summer of moonbeams and chlorine
Knew her secrets by that halloween
spent new years eve on a park bench
each needed hats, had an address
ice on the street ripped her black dress
Pre-chorus
and it was cold but she still smiled
said “let’s just stay here for a while”
in the snow in the glow
of dawn
pink and gold
she said when we’re older
Chorus
“i want to be where you are
i will move however far
you’ll sing, i’ll bring my guitar
we can both have our own drawers
paint green our cabinets and doors
get a cat, someday have a porch”
mmmmmmmm
Verse 2
at eighteen, she moved to the city
5 hundred miles in a bus seat
to see her new room and watch movies
eyebags could not make up lost time
she had her work and i had mine
we would daydream of interior design
Pre-chorus
when it was cold but she still smiled
said “let’s just stay here for a while”
in the snow in the glow
of dawn
Chorus
i want to be where you are
i will move however far
i’ll sing, you’ll bring your guitar
we can both have our own drawers
paint green our cabinets and doors
get a cat, someday have a porch
mmmmmmmm
Bridge
picture us with time to spare
baking bread on a sunday
picture us in rocking chairs
reminiscing on the old days
looking out at our beachside view
i’d like to try to follow through
i want to try to follow through
Verse 3
she got the job that she dreamed of
i moved away and fell in love
what i have here is more than enough
But as i get my new lease signed
i wonder after all this time
does our someday porch ever cross your mind
your mind
