Portland Rain lyrics
by Everclear





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 dreamhouse

And I think about the damage

I put the big light out



I sit down smoking on my basement floor

I hear footsteps up above me

They are right outside my front door



The only place that I want to be

Is watching you move up on top of me

The only sound that I want to hear

Is the rain against my window as you whisper in my ear



Baby, you know I love it when you call me 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 want to be

Is watching you sweet dream in bed right next to me



The only sound that I want to 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

I 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



I stand out in the rain where I watched you drive away

I never thought I would live to see

this fucked-up day



I stand out in the rain in the middle of the night

I wish that it could wash away the beast inside



The only thing I want to do is kiss you when I am coming deep inside of you



The only sound that I want to hear

Is the rain against my window as I hold you



Don't give up on me

Oh baby, can't you see?

We could make this be the way it used to be



Don't give up on me

I 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
