Lyrics

[Intro]
The screen door's open, you're out there on the step
Last warm night of the year and I'm not done yet

[Verse 1]
You took the last cold one from the back of the fridge
Left a wet ring drying where you sat on the ledge
Moths keep knocking the porch light around
Your arms are crossed, but one boot's tapping down
I lost the right to argue about an hour ago
So I got nothing left but this ridiculous show

[Chorus]
I turned the kitchen radio up loud
Hit the light so you can see me through the glass
Socks on the linoleum, spinning like a fool
Making every neighbor wonder what I am
I can't say it right, so watch me from the yard
I can't say it right, so watch me from the yard

[Verse 2]
The candle on the railing burned down to the tin
You won't turn around and I won't ask you to come in
So I'm knocking over chairs in my own house tonight
Four minutes of a grown man losing every ounce of pride
You know the word I owe you and I know it too
It gets stuck in my teeth every time I look at you

[Chorus 2]
I turned the kitchen radio up loud
Hit the light so you can see me through the glass
Socks on the linoleum, spinning like a fool
Making every neighbor wonder what I am
I can't say it right, so watch me from the yard
I can't say it right, so watch me from the yard

[Bridge]
I'd rather be stupid than be quiet out here
Let the whole street hear it, let it carry to the drive
If I can't hand you sorry, I can hand you this
One more dumb song and everything I've got left

[Final Chorus]
I turned the kitchen radio up loud
Hit the light so you can see me through the glass
Socks on the linoleum, spinning like a fool
Making every neighbor wonder what I am
I can't say it right, so watch me from the yard
I can't say it right, so watch me from the yard

[Outro]
Then I heard your boots come up the steps
