Front Porch Sunrise

This isn't good morning, this is gracious bad news
 I was calling to scar you with what I'm about to do
 You burned your sorrows and I burned mine too
 But you kept the ashes and now they're keeping you
 What's it like to be honest, honestly happy
 And say all the things that you know that you're thinking?
 What's it like to be honest, honestly happy
 And say all the things that you know that you're thinking?
 I don't need anyone or anything
 Between you and me is a distance that I bridge with sleep, so
 I'm cutting clearly and straight to your room
 Crawling your bed to that windowless view
 Cause these blankets and sheets will bury me
 If I let myself go to your father's beliefs
 "You will always be the boy who stumbled in too soon," she said
 "You will always be the boy that stumbled in too soon," she said
 What's it like to be honest, honestly happy
 And say all the things that you know that you're thinking?
 What's it like to be honest, honestly happy?
 And I don't need anyone or anything
 Between you and me is a distance that I bridge with sleep, so
 I want it so badly but I have to break
 The promise I made for your front porch that day
 I spent last night talking secrets and graves
 A place that my promise has now wormed its way
 And your parents were on your front lawn screaming
 I'm the kid that's keeping you lost
 And I could never be what you want
 I could never, I could never
 And your parents were on your front lawn screaming
 I'm the kid that's keeping you lost
 I could never be what you want
 I could never, I could never
 And your parents were on your front lawn screaming
 I'm the kid that's keeping you lost
 And I could never be what you want
 I could never, I would never
