Portland

I thought I’d write to tell you I made it to Portland
They say it’s summer here, but damn it’s a cold one
I had, I had, I had a drink late last night
It brought, it brought, it brought you back to my mind
If you saw my eyes, they’d tell you the truth, I’m for ya
Packed all your things, chased all your dreams in California
I hear, I hear, I hear the sound of your voice
It haunts, it haunts, it haunts, haunts me the most
I still think that I need you
I still think that I need you
I still think that I need you
And I still think you need me, too
Been writing some songs that you’ll never hear, but they're for ya
Packed all my things, chased all my dreams, it was all for ya
You hear, you hear, you hear the sound of my voice
It’s the song of just some stranger you don’t know
I still think that I need you
I still think that I need you
I still think that I need you
And I still think you need me, too
If you come back, if you come back, if you come back
Come back to Portland, come back to Portland
'Cause I'm leaving a light, leaving a light, leaving a light
Leave it on for ya, come back to Portland
If you come back, if you come back, if you come back
Come back to Portland, come back to Portland
'Cause I'm leaving a light, leaving a light, leaving a light
Leave it on for ya, come back to Portland
I still think that I need you
I still think that I need you
I still think that I need you
I still think you need me, too
