Lyrics of
Portugal

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
So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans
'Cause I watched 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 lovers
But this memory is still with me
Circles bring me in circles
Your clothes underneath my clothes
Once upon a time in Portugal
So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans
'Cause I watched 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
So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans
'Cause I watched 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
Take me with you
Cause even on your own
You are not alone
Take me with you
Cause even by yourself
You can't carry with you anyone else
