Jimmy Lamoreau - Empty Porch Swing Lyrics

The porch swing's been empty since you walked away
Rust on the chains it sways when it rains
The world kept spinning but the seasons froze
With the echoes of you in the wind that blows
I'd sit there alone with the evening sky
Tryin' to outrun the reasons why
But the silence taught me what pride can cost
You can't mend the future 'til you face what you've lost
I'm comin' back to that empty porch swing
Where the past feels close but it's out of reach
Gonna bring it to life let the shadows fall
Turn the ghosts in the air into nothin' at all
I'm comin' back to the place where we stood
And if it takes my whole heart I'll make it good
The swing's not broken it's just been still
And I've got the strength now I've got the will
I'll fix the chains I'll paint the wood
Restore the swing to where it once stood
The sun's breakin' through the storm's behind
I'm claimin' this space as a place that's mine
I'm comin' back to that empty porch swing
Where the past feels close but it's out of reach
Gonna bring it to life let the shadows fall
Turn the ghosts in the air into nothin' at all
I'm comin' back to the place where we stood
And if it takes my whole heart I'll make it good
I'm comin' back to that empty porch swing
Where the past feels close but it's out of reach
I'll fill it with life let the shadows fall
And the love we lost won't haunt me at all
I'm comin' back to the place where we stood
And I'm ready to make it good
