Portugal

Lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] I know everyone you know You know everyone I know Our Venn diagrams are one circle You grow up when I'm not looking We grow apart without knowing And all of a sudden I'm leaving [Chorus] So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans As I watch the time slip through my hands What you don't know now one day you'll learn That growing up is a heavy leaf to turn A heavy leaf to turn [Post-Chorus] Take me with you 'Cause even on your own You are not alone Take me with you 'Cause even by yourself My love, you are something else [Verse 2] One summer turns into ten summers One lover turns into ten others But this memory is still with me So close, bring me in so close Your clothes, underneath my clothes Once upon a time in Portugal [Chorus] So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans As I watch the time slip through my hands What you don't know now one day you'll learn That growing up is a heavy leaf to turn A heavy leaf to turn [Post-Chorus] Take me with you 'Cause even on your own You are not alone Take me with you 'Cause even by yourself My love, you are something else [Bridge] (Oh-oh-oh-oh) No matter what you want (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Somebody else wants it just as bad No matter what you got (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Somebody else has got it worse No matter when I got to you (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Somebody else got to you first [Chorus] So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans As I watch the time slip through my hands What you don't know now one day you'll learn That growing up is a heavy leaf to turn A heavy leaf to turn Take me with you 'Cause even on your own You are not alone Take me with you 'Cause even by yourself My love, you are something else (I know everyone you know) Take me with you (You know everyone I know) 'Cause even on your own (Venn diagrams are one circle) You are not alone (oh no, you are not alone) (I know everyone you know) Take me with you (You know everyone I know) 'Cause even by yourself (Venn diagrams are one circle) You can carry with you anyone else
