Front Porch Step
Aware
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
Because 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 hope this song is golden
Like the point of my intentions

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Now the deed is done
And there is nothing left to say
Prayed to the God you don't believe in
That you'll love me some day
So when the years go by
And you forget how much I care
Put in this song and sing along
So your heart will be aware
[Outro]
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
