the scent of new skins: lyrics

i love you portland (go back)

walking down burnside avenue
i’m hand in hand with you
i love you portland

staying at the ace hotel
taking pictures in the photo booth
i love you portland

drinking wine and listening to jazz
making out and eating chips
i love you portland

and we should go back for a longer stay someday when we are one
and we’ll explore it all and fall deeper in love when we are done

i’m gonna learn japanese
because you make me buckle my knees
i love you portland

buying toques, lps and sweets
as we discover the streets
i love you portland

taking breaks to go lie down
i smell your neck before i bite down
i love you portland

and we should go back for a longer stay someday when we are one
and we’ll explore it all and fall deeper in love when we are done
