Ports tells the story of a man who ventures down to Corolla, North Carolina in hopes of reuniting with a girl who left him. She ignores him once he arrives, so he is left stranded in a new place, coping by smoking cigarettes alone by the ocean.
[Hook 2x]
I light up another Newport
Out in northern Carolina
What the hell I talk to you for (hell I talk to you)
'Cause I still can't seem to find ya (still can't seem to find)
[Verse 1]
I'm biding time
By the ocean
It's alright (it's alright)
I didn't notice
All the seconds I'm wasting
Faces you’re making
Love that you’re faking
I would pay to get it back (get it back)
But you got it all figured out
You told me that you had your doubts
But promised that you’d stick around
I gave you my all
Now why won’t you pick up my call
[Hook 2x]
I light up another Newport
Out in northern Carolina
What the hell I talk to you for
'Cause I still can't seem to find ya
[Bridge]
I wanna go chasing
Door ajar like mason
You said come in
But I never go through it
Its push but I pull it
There’s just something..
[Verse 2]
I’m lighting it up
But save some for the weekend
You look good so I’m peeking
If only I could meet you right now
Like it’s the first time again
Don’t tell your friends
See I just gotta make amends
Just pretend that you’ll consider it
You threw me outside like you’re littering
I’m finna get
Just another cigarette
In a second, I
Can go clear my mind
Out in Corolla is where I will find you
[Hook 3x; last 2 with background Chorus]
I light up another Newport
Out in northern Carolina
What the hell I talk to you for
Cause I still can’t seem to find ya
(I can't seem to find you)
