I was on your porch
The sun, it sank into my skin
So I came inside to be with you
And we talked all night
About everything we could imagine
Because, come the morning
I'll be gone
And as our eyes start to close
I turn to you and I let you know
That I love you

My mom was sick
And my dad, he cared for her
His love, it nursed her back to life
And me, I ran
I couldn't even look at her
For fear I'd have to say goodbye
And, as I start to turn
Dad grabs me by the shoulder
And he tells me:

"What's left to lose?
You've done enough
And if you fail, well then you fail
But not to us
Because these last few years
I know they've been hard
But now it's time to get out of the city
And go have some fun
Even if it's alone."

So now I here I set
In a fourth-floor dorm room
My thoughts bounce off
These white-washed walls
And that's the way it's been
Ever since we were kids
But now, now we've got
Something to prove

And I, I can see their eyes
But tell me something
Can they see mine?
Because what's left to lose?
I've done enough
And if I fail, well then I fail
But I gave it a shot
And these last two years
I know they've been hard
But now it's time to get out of the city
And go have some fun

Even if it's alone.

I was on your porch last night
Your perfume
It sank into my skin
