Rock power ballad, warm close male baritone with smoky magnetic sandpaper grain, controlled effort on sustained notes and brief upward phrase-end growls, 70 BPM; wide 80s stadium production with gated drums, tape sheen, and spacious reverb; clean chorused electric guitar, warm synth pad, soaring guitar solo, instrumental intro, interlude, and outro
Lyrics & section notes
[Verse 1]
She keeps two chairs out on the porch
one of them has been empty four years
her daughter says it's time now
she says the chair's not hurting anyone
[Verse 2]
She still makes coffee for the pot
she still says the news out loud
she says she isn't waiting
she says she's just not finished talking
[Chorus]
Two chairs on the porch
one cushion worn, one perfect
two chairs on the porch
she isn't crazy, she's still married
grief is not a room you leave
it's a house you learn to live in
[Verse 3]
Sometimes a neighbour sits there
she says nothing, she just pours
she likes it when the chair is used
she says he'd have liked the company
[Bridge]
My father built those chairs, she said
same wood, same day, same hands
you don't take one apart
just because one of them got quiet
[Final Chorus]
Two chairs on the porch
I sat in it last Sunday
two chairs on the porch
she talked to me for an hour
and I understood at last
she wasn't talking to the chair
[Outro]
