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.

But 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.

But 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
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
'Cause I watched the time slip through my hands.

But 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.
