2-2-001. Porch Light Years (Translating)

Verse 1

Dust on the photo frame
Your laugh in the hallway air
Same chipped paint on the stairs
But we’re not who lived there

I grew up in that room
You grew in a different sky
Still I catch us in old time
When the world was mine and I

Pre-Chorus

I keep turning it over
Like a coin in my hand
What we were then
What we are now
Still I understand

Chorus

Same old heart, new scars
We changed, we changed
Still I find you there
In the frame, in the flame
Same old heart, new scars
We changed, we changed
Love stays when the names
And the years rearrange

Verse 2

Now the road bends wider
And the map has worn thin
Different towns, different faces
Same pulse under the skin

You taught me how to leave
And how to come back home
How the smallest sweet memory
Can make a stone feel warm

Pre-Chorus

I keep turning it over
Like a coin in my hand
What we were then
What we are now
Still I understand

Chorus

Same old heart, new scars
We changed, we changed
Still I find you there
In the frame, in the flame
Same old heart, new scars
We changed, we changed
Love stays when the names
And the years rearrange

Bridge

If I could hold one hour
I’d hold the one with you
Bare feet on the porch boards
The sky in your shampoo

But time keeps taking
What it knows I’ll miss
So I learned to call it living
And I learned to call it this

Final Chorus

Same old heart, new scars
We changed, we changed
Still I find you there
In the frame, in the flame
Same old heart, new scars
We changed, we changed
Love stays when the names
And the years rearrange

Outro

Years rearrange
Love stays the same
Years rearrange
Love stays the same
