Porch Light

English translation

I would ask you how you've been, it's all over the Internet.

But hey, I mean you knew that after all.

If you're looking for an autopsy or a half-assed half apology, then I think you picked the wrong time to make this call.

It is not irrelevant that you stopped taking your medicine, but I'm giving you the benefit 'cause it's raining out.

I'll tell you how the weather is, and you'll slip into some eloquently rambling mixed message, and I should shut you down.

But it's cold and it's cold and it's cold and it's cold and it's cold.

And I don't know, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone.

I hope you tell me that you're burning down, that you lost the taste to face the crowd, that whatever made you famous made you sick.

That you can only deal with pain and lies, it ain't up to you to make it out, and there ain't no shame in calling this thing quits.

But you don't and you don't, but you don't and you don't and you don't.

You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost.

And your poison is spreading into my lungs.

I ain't holding breath, ain't holding any faith at all.

And I'll break for you, in pain for you I'll leave the porch light on.

My broken angel, morning on his feet, he turns it off.

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes.

You act like we just sit up here and wait for you to reappear, but baby there are bills to pay and your dad's road needs salt.

And I try to drown out all the talk, the eyeballs in the parking lots, and tell people it ain't me you want, but I guess you're my fault.

You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost.

And I choke and I choke and I choke and I choke on the poison is spreading into my lungs.

I ain't holding breath, ain't holding any faith at all.

And I'll break for you, in pain for you I'll leave the porch light on.

My broken angel, morning on his feet, he turns it off.

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes.

Poison is spreading into my lungs.

I ain't holding breath, ain't holding any faith at all.

And I'll break for you, in pain for you I'll leave the porch light on.

My broken angel, morning on his feet, he turns it off.

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes.
