lyrics

Stumbling into Portland in the rain
Thinking that I'd finally had it
And I just can't ever seem to escape
Something in your eyes got me like an addict
Rented a room above the bookstore
Get along voices running late
Milk crates full of records and a mattress on the floor
A foreign country: Portland in the rain

Portland in the rain

Your bra just dangled from a hook inside the door
Like a sudden ghost town empty of your form
And making love is an aching memory
Your little sounds and your body heat
I wish I'd been one of your secrets
A place you went to be yourself
I sing out loud like I hope you'll hear it
Things I never said, but only felt

Portland in the rain

An abandoned dog just running hungry
For your legs crossed in a dress
I'm so consumed when the stomach's empty
Wishing handfuls of your flesh
And smiling back to me in pictures
Frozen in time inside a frame
But you go and move in with your sisters
And I move to Portland in the rain

Portland in the rain
