So scared your life will end You won't let it begin Your "go away" is "here to stay" You peel your skin away And dipped in salt, you say "I'll never let 'em have me, no way" Porchlight ♪ You pray while I say I hope she hears you You pray while I say I hope No matter how it sounds You ring the rusty bell You never had to hear it yourself With your head on the ground You listen for distant sound You just hear the pounding in your ear Porchlight ♪ You pray while I say I hope she hears you You pray while I say I hope You pray while I say I hope he hears you You pray while I say I hope ♪ Put up on the shelf All that belong away Let a seed become a day I know you don't know the way And you don't pretend a way The best thing for your boy is you let him hurt Porchlight Porchlight Porchlight
