filler: song lyric post

I'm thinking of posting something a little later about the dating scene.

In the meantime, here's the lyrics to one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a very long time.

===

i was on your porch, the smoke sank into my skin
so i came inside to be with you
and we talked all night, about everything we could imagine
cause come the morning i'll be gone
and as our eyes start to close
i turn to you and i let you know that i love you

well my dad was sick and my mom she cared for him
her love it nursed him back to life
and me i ran, i couldnt even look at him
for fear i'd have to say goodbye
and as i start to leave
he grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me
what's left to lose, you've done enough
and if you fail well then you fail but not to us
'cause these last three years, i know they've been hard
but now its time to get out of the desert and into the sun
even if it's alone

so now here i sit, in a hotel off of sunset
my thoughts bounce off of sam's guitar
and that's the way it's been, ever since we were kids
but now, now weve got something to prove
and i, i can see their eyes
but tell me something, can they see mine
cause what's left to lose, i've done enough
and if i fail well then i fail but i gave it a shot
and these last three years, i know they've been hard
but now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun
even if it's alone

i was on your porch last nite, the smoke it sank into my skin
