Description
(Verse 1)
We woke up to a silence we didn't know,
Like a map with whole roads folded out of sight.
You opened up a door I never thought you'd show,
Left footprints where our promises used to lie.
I stood beneath that porch light humming low,
Felt the hush grow heavy as a winter hush.
Questions lined the rafters like the radio,
All the easy answers lost to dust and rush.
(Pre-Chorus)
Porch light humming like an old refrain,
Neon scribbles reasons down in the rain.
(Chorus)
Gene, you were my lighthouse,
I kept the light though it went dim.
(Verse 2)
Your laugh's still caught in the jukebox glow,
Truck bed afternoons and freckled summer nights.
Accordion and steel still haunt the barroom rows,
We learned our names beneath those string-lit lights.
I trace the space where your jacket used to fall,
Count the quiet moments that turned into scars.
Every mile on that dashboard spells your call,
Every honky-tonk shadow keeps your heart in stars.
(Pre-Chorus - Variation)
That highway hums a song that used to be ours,
Empty seat beside me keeps the beat of our scars.
(Chorus)
Gene, you were my lighthouse,
I kept the light though it went dim.
(Bridge)
Was it something I did, or just a drifting tide?
Did another set of hands pull you from my side?
I lay out all the reasons like cards across the floor,
Find one line that says we couldn't fight for more.
But love doesn't vanish just because it breaks,
Some truths stay quiet when the proud heart aches.
(Chorus - Finale)
Gene, you were my lighthouse,
I kept the light though it went dim.
(Tag)
I'll keep that porch light glowing in the night —
I'll always love you, Gene, even if forever's out of sight.
(Outro)
Accordion and headlights, a neon afterglow,
Truck bed promises folded soft and slow.
Some loves learn the art of quiet, honest rest,
But your name's a warm ache settled in my chest.
Porch light for Gene, I keep it burning still—
A small, steady flame for what we used to will.
