I sat inside an airplane bound for portland
An engine jutting out obscured the view
In my mind it stuttered and it stopped
And as we all began to drop toward the groun
I pictured breaking through to you
The air gets awfully thin atop the mountains
When it gets hard to breathe i think of us
Winter nights your breath fogged up the light
The air was putrid. when the sky grew dark you said
You never thought you could adjust
How i hoped you'd stay
In time to see the dawn of a summer day
I thought your mind would change
If you saw the city in a new way
But god, the heat gets harder to handle every day
I wish i could say i'm unafraid
And that someday
I can laugh this off as another heartbreak
Where am i now?
In this urban lost and found
The more i look around
The less devout i become to my hometown
♪
And i never questioned whether it was he who knew you best
I had no regrets till i felt home in the pacific northwest
