Portland Rain
Everclear

Yeah, that's right


I stand out breaking

In the Portland rain

I see the end there in your eyes

As I watch you drive away


I walk back blind

Into my cold dream house

And I think about the damage

As I put the big light out


I sit down smoking

On my basement floor

I hear footsteps up above me

And they are right outside my front door


The only place that I wanna be

Is watching you move up on top of me

The only sound that I wanna hear

Is the rain against my window

As you whisper in my ear


Baby, you know I love it

When you call me baby, baby


I go upstairs

And find my twelve year old

She's got tears running down her face

Sitting sad at my piano


She sings soft words

From that old Beatles song

And I think about my yesterday

And all the things I did wrong


The only place that I wanna be

Is watching you sweet dream

In bed right next to me

The only sound that I wanna hear

Is the rain against my window

As I pull you near


Don't give up on me

Baby, can't you you see?

We could make this be

The way it used to be


Don't give up on me

Wish I could make you see

That I am changing everyday

Trying to build a better me

We could make this be

The way it's supposed to be


Don't give up on me

Don't give up on me


I stand out in the rain

Where I watched you drive away

Never thought I'd live to see

This fucked-up day


Stand out in the rain

In the middle of the night

Wish that it could wash away

The beast inside


The only thing I wanna do

Is kiss you when I am coming

Deep inside of you

The only sound that I wanna hear

Is the rain against my window

As I hold you


Don't give up on me

Baby, can't you see?

We can make this be

The way it used to be


Don't give up on me

Wish I could make you see

That I am changing everyday

Trying to build a better me

We could make this be

The way it's supposed to be


Don't give up on me

Don't give up on me

Don't give up on me

Don't give up on me
