Okay
[Verse 1]
Portland
We always say we’ll go to Portland
Maybe today we can’t afford it
But I’ll save my pennies quick
Recalled
Your car is always getting recalled
And never picking up when we call
But I know this luck won’t stick
[Chorus 1]
Everything feels heavy right now
But my two feet are steady on the ground
Set it down, I can hold it
Future pebbles are present boulders
It’s a moment, not forever
We’ll make it through together
[Verse 2]
Interviews
Jobs that always seem to want you
‘Til you make it to the last two
And they choose the other name
Buckets
In your hall collecting droplets
Seven calls, no one’s fixed it
So you pray it doesn’t rain
[Chorus 2]
Everything feels heavy right now
But my two feet are steady on the ground
Set it down, I can hold it
Future pebbles are present boulders
It’s a moment, not forever
We’ll make it through together
[Bridge]
Even if I have to
Carry you ‘til my knees buckle
Hold your hand with bloody knuckles
If it takes all night I promise I won’t leave
Rub your back until your eyes close
Keep the secrets no one else knows
And if seasons change I’ll be whatever you need
And you’ll do the same for me
[Chorus 3]
So Portland
What if we head there in the morning?
Everything else is less important
Than the time we won’t get back
‘Cause one day, we’ll count the Polaroids not money
Only remembering the best days and everything we
Had before we had to set it down
It’s a moment
Not forever
We’ll make it through together
