Porch Trials

Verse 1
We were two ghosts moving through yesterday,
Living in patterns we both learned the hard way.
Then you showed up like sunlight cutting through,
Sawdust in your hair, building something new.
And suddenly I wanted more than just repairs—
To tear down the walls, breathe a different kind of air.

Pre-Chorus
Every board we tightened down,
Said more than words could make a sound—
It wasn’t just a porch we raised,
It was the bridge out of her old world into our days.

Chorus
These are our Porch Trials,
Love hits hard but it’s been worthwhile.
You’re the fire, I’m the calm,
Somehow together we both belong.
Less than 175 days ‘til we finish what we began on that porch—
No more almost, no adjacency—just us
Building a home where our future gets forged.

Verse 2
Your parents will know when I finally speak—
That I’m loving you now and the woman you’ll be next week.
My sister saw it written all over my face:
How you quiet every fear I used to chase.
Five months in, but it feels like forever—
Funny how time bends when you’re better together.

Pre-Chorus
Every night we map this life,
The doubts fall back, the hopes rise bright—
Didn’t know that “always” could feel this light
Till your heartbeat synced up with mine.

Chorus
These are our Porch Trials,
Love hits hard but it’s been worthwhile.
You’re the fire, I’m the calm,
Somehow together we both belong.
Less than 175 days ‘til we finish what we began on that porch—
No more almost, no adjacency—just us
Building a home where our future gets forged.

Bridge (Nu-Metal Spoken/Scream)
I used to run from the life I wanted—
But you stopped the sprint, faced the haunted.
Turned “eventually” into “right now,”
Turned two more minutes into a sacred vow.
Turned a porch into promise,
A plan into place,
Turned a man full of echoes
Into someone who stays.

Breakdown
So let the countdown light the sky—
175 days ‘til the old house waves goodbye.
We’ll leave those ghosts on the other side,
And build what’s next with steady hands and open eyes.

Final Chorus (Explosive)
These are our Porch Trials,
Where pain turned hope and hope turned wild.
You’re the fire, I’m the calm,
And I’m stronger standing in your arms.
175 days ‘til the walls we built
Start echoing with our next chapter’s voice—
I’m not afraid of the future anymore—
With you, forever feels like choice.

Outro (Rhymed & Updated)
Yeah…
Stain and lay the wood,
Screw every board in good.
We’re building a life—
And God, it feels like I’ve finally understood home.

Emo, nu metal, screamo, hard rock beats, with screaming vocals, full of raw emotion and depth.
