Portland Lyrics - Blood & Lemonade - American Hi-fi

Left without goodbye to the city 

To find a quiet place of our own 

A little house on the hill 

Yeah, I can see you still 

Your golden hair and moonlight 

40 California stars 

The dream you'd come and never came 

It seems our dreams were not the same 

[CHORUS] 

So where are you running to? 

And where have you been, my love? 

Portland is a long, long way from the way we were before 

It's hard to get close to you 

But God knows I tried my luck 

It's been a long, long year and I feel like coming home 

But I got no place to go 

I'm looking back at the crash site 

I can see where you left your mark 

The nights seem longer now 

When the sun's not up it's down 

When it's the creature and the habit 

When you really gotta have it 

Won't be the death of me 

If you become the enemy 

[CHORUS] 

I'm finally waking up 

I'm finally waking up 

I'm finally waking up 

So where are you running to? 

And where have you been, my love? 

Portland is a long, long way from the way we were before 

It's hard to get close to you 

And God knows I tried my luck 

It's been a long, long year and I feel like coming home 

It's been a long, long year and I feel like coming home 

But I got no place to go 

It's been hard
