Portland Lights

Yeah, people stop and stare through stale smoke air
The fireworks blare, she asks me
So then I came clean and killed the dream
Finale seen so quickly

The fake smiles made it seem sadder
Perceptions all torn and tattered
And now

Find myself walking by Tabor park one spring night
It's where our future died and these same Portland lights
Will help me find my way past wet, blurred street signs
Some lawn at day I'll lay and pass out clutching cheap red wine

I think I spent the greater part of tonight just waiting for you
On the chance that I'd meet up with the girl I never outgrew

Yeah, people stop and stare through stale smoke air
The fireworks blare, she asks me
So then I came clean and killed the dream
Finale seen so quickly

The fake smiles made it seem sadder
Perceptions get torn and tattered
So now

Find myself walking by Tabor park one spring night
It's where our future died and these same Portland lights
Will help me find my way past wet, blurred street signs
Some lawn at day I'll lay and pass out clutching cheap red wine

But now with shit to show, it's kinda hard to let you know
Kick this dust off my clothes, spit the dust out of my mouth, make my way downtown
Waking up to city sounds, I'll take one last look around
And if the streets are empty then I'll let the raindrops wipe me clean of you
