lyrics

I used to only find the Illinois flatline
Lovely when I saw the beauty moving
From my cramped up seat on an Amtrak train,
Memory's a flicker in the pouring down rain,
Reminder that all this was my own choosing.

Mmm

I woke up today still in last night's makeup
Noticed growing older became a blur
And I sit on the couch with the light on the street
This old house that shelters me
Holds the way things are and how they were

Mmm

This god damn
Porch band
We breathe a little easier
With new friends
My hands
Somebody's old guitar I'm playing
The god damn
Porch band
One more Thursday night alive
With new friends
Raised hands
Singing one more one more one more song

You never stop to wonder how all those midnights
Cobbled together can turn into a life
I've seen this place through tears in my eyes
Seen all the laughter, opened my mind
Changed the rules just when I've got it right

Funny I was here for so few hours
But there's a lifeline in the cracked up parking lots
I'm gonna miss it more than I ever would've known
Call it yesterday, hell, call it home
Keep what you can before they change the locks

This god damn
Porch band
We breathe a little easier
With new friends
My hands
Somebody's old guitar I'm playing
The god damn
Porch band
One more Thursday night alive
With new friends
Raised hands
Singing one more one more one more song

(Everything is gonna be alright)

I keep thinking up new ways to hold on
But telephone lines can only go so far
There's a hundred more tomorrow's that still could be
But I'm only worried bout you and me
And we've got forever as long as we've got the dark

Tonight in this
