Porchlight Playback

I called my old number

just to hear my voice

On that greeting from a summer

we both lost by choice

A stranger answered with a

gravel-driveway sigh

Beneath a single yellow porch bulb in a quiet July

And they played it back once in the dark

Letting my old ghost leave a mark

Oh, we held on so tight

But we are just a signal in the night (ooh,

just a signal) They didn't delete it,

they just let it spin

Static on the air

where our lives had been

Now I am sitting by this

cabin dial

Listening to the hum of a forgotten mile

And they played it back once in the dark

Letting my old ghost leave a mark

Oh, we held on so tight

But we are just a signal in the night (yeah)

Just a signal

Beside the gravel drive (ahhhh)
