Porch Light Gravity

Porch light gravity
Signal weak
Connection strong

There's a three hour difference
On the kitchen clock
A thousand miles of highway
In between

I'm listening to the neighborhood
Stray dogs bark
Staring at a glowing little screen

Spinning

I can see your face
But it's pixelated
I can hear your voice
But it's out of time

The coffee pot still brews
Enough for two
I pour the extra out
And think of you

This is not the life
That we anticipated
But I am yours
And you are mine

Porch light gravity
Pulling me home
Spinning in the dark
But not alone

Signal is weak
Connection is strong
Your little light
Keeps calling me home

Porch light gravity
Pulling me home
Spinning in the dark
Not alone

Signal is weak
Connection is strong
Porch light gravity
Pulling me home

I walk through the city
But I feel like a ghost
The crosswalks count me down
To no one home

The people are just static
On the street
A hundred conversations
None my own

You're the only frequency
That cuts the noise
The only signal
Breaking through to me

I look up at the moon
And I know you see it too
One sky is all
We're sharing for now

I keep your voicemail
Like a lantern in my coat
Replay the static
Till I know it word for word

I'm sending all my light
Across the black and blue
I'm gonna make it back
To you somehow

Porch light gravity
Pulling me home
Spinning in the dark
But not alone

Signal is weak
Connection is strong
Your little light
Keeps calling me home

Back home

Porch light gravity
Pulling me home
Spinning in the dark
Not alone

Signal is weak
Connection is strong
Porch light gravity
Pulling me home

The distance took the daylight
But it never took the thread
Ten months of midnight phone calls
Holding down the days

Nine hours of highway
Eight cups of gas station faith
I'm reentering the atmosphere
No map
No flare

Just your name in the air

Seven texts unanswered
While you sleep
Six lanes of night
No silver rocket

Just a tired car
Swallowing miles
Five states
Four coffees

Three bridges
Two headlights
One porch lamp burning
And I'm almost there

The dashboard clock is blinking
But I know what I am near
Road signs blur behind me
But your window stays clear

Hold the light
Hold the line
Keep the channel clear
I'm almost there

I'm almost there
I'm almost there
I'm almost there

Porch light gravity
Pulling me home
Spinning in the dark
But not alone

Signal is weak
Connection is strong
Your little light
Keeps calling me home

Home

Three hours behind you
Still under the same moon
Porch light gravity
Pulling me home

Signal is weak
Connection is strong
I am coming back
Down to earth

Soon
