American Hi-Fi - Portland Lyrics

We left without goodbye to the city
And found a quiet place of our own
A little house on the hill
Yeah, I can see you still
Your golden hair in the moonlight
40 california stars
We dreamed a calm that 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
And god knows I tried my luck
It's been a long long year and I feel like coming home
But I've 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 suns not up its down
When it's the creature and the habit
When you really gotta have it
It wont be the death of me
If you become the enemy.

I'm finally waking up.
