Lyrics
Your name lit up my phone at midnight I let it ring, then I let it breathe Last time I left the porch light off This time I'm standing at the door to see Two years of quiet in my chest I rehearsed a hundred ways to say I'm not the girl who ran away I'm just a girl who's learning how to stay So hold the door, don't hurry me Let the cold air ask the questions Let the light tell you what I mean Second chance, porch light glow Come on in, take it slow Nothing owed and nothing lost Just a little love worth the cost Second chance, soft and low I turned it on so you would know You still hum when you're afraid I still count the steps I take We both got older, both got kind Both got tired of the mistakes No big speeches on the stairs Just two mugs and a quiet chair Some old songs and some new air And a little less to prove in there So hold the door, don't hurry me Let the cold air ask the questions Let the light tell you what I mean Second chance, porch light glow Come on in, take it slow Nothing owed and nothing lost Just a little love worth the cost Second chance, soft and low I turned it on so you would know If it breaks, we'll say it plain If it holds, we'll hold the same No more running down the street Just your hand inside of mine, complete Second chance, porch light glow Come on in, take it slow Nothing owed and nothing lost Just a little love worth the cost Second chance, soft and low I turned it on so you would know I turned it on so you would know Come on in, take it slow
