Porch Light Goodbye

Your porch light was flickering on the drive

I count the steps till you arrive (hummmm)

Under the coat check lights we stood

Leaving early like we said we would With your cheap perfume and

my heavy heart

This is where the best stories start

Your neighbor with the porch light walked right out

Mid-sentence, wondering what we were about

He went to get the mail,

then walked back inside

Under the laser fog where we used to hide

I smell your cheap perfume

Drifting across the crowded room

Oh, we're making our move

Under the coat check lights we stood

Leaving early like we said we would With your cheap perfume and

my heavy heart

This is where the best stories start

But then you grabbed your coat and looked away

And said there's something that you have to say

You're not leaving with me tonight

You're catching a different flight

Just a coat check goodbye (sighhh) Under the flickering porch light

Last call elegance fades out
