1.
When we first met I thought it was love and hope, It felt like time was mine and you'd be all I'd know, How could anyone else know what we've done and seen? Now when you're around you're always dressed in gold, And it's so hard to see the truth with the lights down low, In the night I'm by myself and all the lights turn green. They say it's not the truth but it is for me. I was better all those years ago.
2.
I'm slurring my words again, I'm trying to forget how we got this lost. I don't know which way to go, The road's so long and dark, And you'll find me where you left, In this land not built for gods. I don't know which way to go, But I'm searching for the truth, All these gods can go to hell, The sun it shines for you. I'm burning for you again, I'm lying to myself and now you're gone. Living as a shadow, Wishing for only snow, You're my last piece of gold, The last peace my mind will ever know.

Interlude 01:13
The heart knows what it wants, But sometimes it's wrong, It's just there to pump blood through your tired body.
4.
Portland 03:41
You said, "Portland is calling" And how did we get here? We lost it all Again and again I'm just trying to remember A face that I used to know
5.
I'm outrunning the weather, Cause I've never been that tough, I'm outrunning you, Cause I swear I've had enough. Does it keep you up at night? I hope it does Does it haunt you? I hope it does
6.
Some people say Life's only worth living if you're not alone And you can only cross the universe with a hand to hold I think they might be right And I don't even have someone to hold tonight I live my life by stories Tales of love and hope Things I've never known All these things I lack My brain gets so off track It's not much But it's enough I heard you say "I don't think that you're ready for someone like me, My life is just too busy, you're so out of place" And even if you're right I'm begging you, don't send me home tonight
