lyrics

She says she’s moving to Portland
Yeah this is important
If I could afford it I would leave today
But I got no money
See this girl she’s so funny
She’s never had a bad bad thing to say
With all of my hopes and fears combined
And everything else that keeps me up at night
I guess I’m moving to Portland
I guess I’m moving to Portland

I think I saw her in passing
It was quick but it’s lasting
Longer than I ever thought
It was the best kind of magic
It was sweet but it’s tragic
It was the best thing that we got
If all of my hopes and fears aligned
And I could finally get to sleep at night
I’d buy a ticket to Portland
I guess I’m moving to Portland

I think my heart’s filled with static
It’s a little dramatic
It shouldn’t be that big of a deal
Cause you just felt this way one time
A blink in the spring time
And couldn’t figure if it was real
And if I said my hopes and fears aloud
Would that make it better somehow
And would she not move to Portland
Please don’t move to Portland

It’s important that we clear this up
I’m not asking you to be my love
I promise you I will be fine
Just promise me you’ll call sometime

I guess she’s moving to Portland
Ah ah

Yeah she’s moving to Portland
Yeah she says it’s important
I wish that I could afford it
Yeah she’s moving to
She’s moving to
She’s moving to Portland
She says that this is important
I wish that I could afford it
Yeah she’s moving to
She’s moving to

Yeah she’s moving to Portland
She says this is important
I wish that I could afford it
Yeah she’s moving to
She’s moving to
She’s moving to Portland
