Portugal – English Lyrics

• By: WALK THE MOON

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

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"

As I watch the time slip through my hands

What you don't know now one day you'll learn

That 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 others

But this memory is still with me

So close, bring me in so close

Your clothes underneath my clothes

Once upon a time in Portugal

So I say, "I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans"

As I watch the time slip through my hands

What you don't know now one day you'll learn

That 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

No matter what you got

Somebody else has got it worse

No matter when I got to you

Somebody else got to you first

So I say, "I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans"

As I watch the time slip through my hands

What you don't know now one day you'll learn

That 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 (I know everyone you know, you know everyone I know)

'Cause even on your own (our Venn diagrams are one circle)

You are not alone

Oh, no, you are not alone

Take me with you (I know everyone you know, you know everyone I know)

'Cause even by yourself (our Venn diagrams are one circle)

You can carry with you anyone else
