Lyrics
Description
(Verse 1)
Under the porchlight by the cracked front step,
A map folded thin in the back of my jeans kept.
A coffee ring like a stubborn little sun,
Calloused fingers count the frets, one by one.
Late-night bus stop under sodium glow,
A paper ticket folded where I used to go.
You hum the tune that taught me how to leave,
And the guitar remembers every breath we keep.
(Pre-Chorus)
Strings hum soft like a compass spun,
Leading me where the worn roads come undone.
(Chorus 1)
Strum my heart, keep me tonight,
Lead me past the quiet light.
Calloused chords, guide me home,
On frets of wood I am not alone.
(Verse 2)
Attic photos curled, a crooked frame on the floor,
A father’s instruction leaving fingerprints on the door.
He showed me where to press, where not to fear,
Left small maps in varnish, rough and clear.
The city breathes through alley ways half-closed,
I press my thumb on a bridge of fretboard rose.
A single open chord cracks the night wide,
And the room fills up with the places we hide.
(Pre-Chorus)
A worn map tucks into the guitar case,
A compass sewn to the leather’s face.
(Chorus 2 — Variation)
Strum my heart, keep me alive tonight,
Carry me past that bending light.
Calloused chords, steady and slow,
They teach my feet the way to go.
(Bridge)
There was a winter when the porchlight failed,
I walked three blocks with a song in my palms, unveiled.
I traded my silence for a backseat prayer,
Left a note on glass: “We taught each other how to care.”
Now I leave the porchlight burning for the ones who stray,
So they can find the doorway or at least the way.
The tune becomes a latch, a key in a faded gate —
It’s proof, not promise, when everything else deflates.
(Chorus 3 — Resolution)
Strum my heart, turn my pages right,
Carry me through the thawing night.
Calloused chords, steady and true,
Make these worn hands into something new.
Strum my heart, keep the doorway lit,
Let every chorus be the map we fit.
(Outro)
Under the porchlight, last chord fades slow,
A small echo follows where the front steps know.
Fold the map into a pocket, close to skin,
The road ahead is simpler with the song within.
