Nicholas Petricca - Portugal lyrics

[Intro] 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 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 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 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 No matter what you want Somebody else wants it just as bad No matter what you got Somebody else has got it worse No matter when I got to you 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 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 [Intro in background] Take me with you Cause even on your own You are not alone (oh no) You are not alone Take me with you Cause even by yourself You can carry with you anyone else
