Porch Light Anthem

(ahhhh) Checked out of the double-bed room

Leaving the keys on the counter top

Shift change at the desk under sterile light

I walk straight out and the conversations stop

Walking through the gravel in the cold night air Seeing that porch

light left burning bright Turning right back because I still care

Keep the porch light on for me Through the five-minute honesty I'm

coming back to face the fire Bending every broken wire (yeah)

Back through the automatic doors

Past the lobby's faded green carpet floors

I was halfway to the highway line

But I couldn't leave the truth behind

Leaving the light on (leaving the light)

Five-minute honesty (oooh)
