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
