Portugal

Portugal Lyrics

I know everyone you know
You know everyone I know
A venn diagram is one circle
You grow up when you're not looking
We grow up but without knowing
And all of a sudden I'm leaving
So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans
Cus I watched the time slip through my hands
But you don't know now
One day you'll learn
Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn
A heavy leaf to turn
Take me with you
Cus even on your own
You are not alone
Take me with you
Cus even by yourself, my love
You are something else
One summer turns into ten summers
One lover turns into ten lovers
But this memory is still with me
Circles bring me in circles
Your clothes underneath my clothes
Once upon a time in Portugal
So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans
Cus I watched the time slip through my hands
But you don't know now
One day you'll learn
Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn
A heavy leaf to turn
Take me with you
Cus even on your own
You are not alone
Take me with you
Cus even by yourself, my love
You are something else
No matter what you want
Somebody else wants it just as bad
No matter what you got
Somebody else has got it worse
No matter when I got to you
Somebody else got to you first
So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans
Cus I watched the time slip through my hands
But you don't know now
One day you'll learn
Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn
A heavy leaf to turn
Take me with you
Cus even on your own
You are not alone
Take me with you
Cus even by yourself, my love
You are something else
