Portland

You're in Portland
I'm in pain
I want to see you
The way we were
I'll try to be happy
With someone like her
But I want to see you again

I know the distance means there's no way
For you and I

And 2000 miles just amplify
The aches, the cravings

You're in Portland
I'm in pain
I want to see you
The things we'd do
I'll try to be happy
With someone new
But I want to see you again

I put up resistance, I don't want to see
The truth for you and I

But every mile just makes the void
A chasm that you can't fill

And I know persistence will do no good
It won't bring you here

And the distance means there's no way
For you and I

You're in Portland
I'm in pain
I want to see you
The way we were
I'll try to be happy
With someone like her
But I want to see you again
