Lyrics Front Porch Step

Front Porch Step

Aware

Well I see you standing there

And your eyes are unaware

That I've been staring at them all night

Wishing the brain behind them cared

About the way you make me feel

Or how your smile makes me nervous

Or how the fact that you exist

Makes me feel like I have a purpose

I'm sick of lying in your bed

While we're both laying down.

You say you want me for a friend,

I hope you know I hate that sound.

But I will bite my tongue

Because I hate when you're pissed off

But you should know I need your touch

Like falling rain on thirsty crops, but

Damn you stupid girl why won't you drop your guard?

The space between our lips is bound to break my ever-aching heart

And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you

More.

So why won't you love me?

Well I hate your cigarettes

And the men that you go see

Because one is killing you,

While the other's killing me.

But I know that you'll stay stubborn

'cause you know I'll stay alone

'cause we both know inside your grasp

Is the only place I feel at home.

Now I sit with my guitar,

Write you one more stupid song.

I hate the way you make me feel

Like I'm doing something wrong

But you'll just have to deal

With all the things that I have mentioned

And I'll hope this song is golden

Like the point of my intentions, but

Damn you stupid girl why won't you drop your guard?

The space between our lips is bound to break my ever-aching heart

And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you

More.

So why won't you love me?

Well now the beat is done

And there is nothing left to say.

Pray to the god you don't believe in

That'll you'll love me someday.

So when the years that go by

Forget how much I cared

Put in this song and sing along

So your heart will be aware

It's like giving up on everything that you believe

To put your trust in a girl that stole your heart right off your sleeve

And I'm so sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you

More.

But you just won't love me.
