(Ah, ah-ah-ah).
(Ah, ah-ah-ah).
(Ah, ah-ah-ah).
(Ah, ah-ah-ah).
[Verse 1]
I keep the porch light on for nobody.
Some nights the quiet sounds like company.
I learned to fold the evening into thirds.
And leave the better half of it unheard.
[Pre-chorus]
But in the morning (morning), the rooms go wide.
And every promise waits on the other side.
[Chorus]
I am the slow leak.
The patient, the stubborn, the half-asleep.
I am the slow leak (leak).
