American Hi-Fi

Portland

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

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

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 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
