[Verse 1]
Dust on the mailbox
Paint chippin' off that rail
Wind chimes still know
Every childhood tale
Mama in the screen door
Apron and crooked grin
Daddy in his old chair
Waitin' on us again
[Chorus]
Porch light still burning
Like it always did
Shining on the grown-ups
Who still see us as kids
Twilight on the front lawn
Fireflies in the trees
Love feels like coming home
When they’re waiting there for me
[Verse 2]
(Male)
I pull in the driveway
Truck hummin' down to quiet
See my father stand up slow
Trying not to show he’s tired
(Female)
Your mama hugs me longer
Like she did that night we wed
Smells like soap and Sunday roast
She laughs and shakes her head
[Chorus]
Porch light still burning
Like it always did
Shining on the grown-ups
Who still see us as kids
Twilight on the front lawn
Fireflies in the trees
Love feels like coming home
When they’re waiting there for me
[Bridge]
(Both)
We’ve been gone so long
Chasing days that move too fast
But in this quiet yard
Every heartbeat feels like past
(Male)
Their hands have gotten shaky
(Female)
Their stories slow and low
(Both)
But every time they say our names
Relief just floods my soul
[Chorus]
Porch light still burning
Like it always did
Shining on the grown-ups
Who still see us as kids
Twilight on the front lawn
Soft grass
Autumn breeze
Love feels like coming home
When they’re waiting there for me
[Outro]
(Both, soft)
Dust on the mailbox
Keys rusted
Same old ring
As long as they’re there waiting
This house is everything
