Portland Lights

Banner Pilot


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 
its where our future died 
and these same portland lights 
will help me find my way 
past wet blurred street signs 
some lawn at day ill 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 id meet up with the girl 
i never outgrew 

but now with shit to show 
its kinda hard to let you go 
kick this dust off my clothes 
spit the dust out my mouth 
make my way downtown 

waking up to city sounds 
ill take one last look around 
and if the streets are empty then ill 
let the raindrops wipe me clean of you
