Porches. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to know that I was right
So I tell myself that I
Won't take it back
I won't take it back
I want to believe in it
I want to know that you needed it
But you tell yourself that
I won't take it back
I tell you the truth
You tell it to me too
I know I need you
You know that we are through
I drive by your house at night
I hate to think that you think he's right
But you say that I'll be fine
You won't take it back
I won't take it back
I guess all that I can do
Is try to stop thinking about you
But if you wanted to
I'd take it back
If you take me back
I tell you the truth
You tell it to me too
I know I need you
You know that we are through
In Porches.'s song "Glow", the artist wants to shine all night, to bask in the feeling of being right. However, the lyrics also convey a sense of loss and regret as the relationship has ended. The repetition of "I won't take it back" shows the artist is trying to convince themselves that they made the right decision. The chorus shows a desperate need for validation and acceptance from the former lover, hoping that they needed the relationship just as much as the artist did.
The lines "I drive by your house at night, I hate to think that you think he's right" implies that the artist is stalking the ex-lover and is hurt by the possibility of them moving on. The desperate need for the ex-lover's approval is reiterated in "But if you wanted to, I’d take it back." It is a plea for a second chance to make things right.
The bridge conveys a mutual understanding of the truth and the acceptance that they have to move on, but there is still a feeling that they need each other. The song concludes with the artist acknowledging that they can only try to move on, but still harboring hope that the ex-lover may take them back.
Overall, the lyrics convey the vulnerability and desperation that often accompany the end of a relationship. The artist is coming to terms with the breakup, but still struggles to let go of the past.
