the city is drowning in its ever present rain
kids splash through puddles soaking
but they never do complain
back at the high school
they are fighting to stay young
singing their anthems because
the darkness hasn't won
they miss you in portland, i can tell
she's only happy when her living room is full
he's watching baseball, he's taking drives with billy joel
they're smoking cigarettes, waiting for a sign
all they can hope for is just a little peace of mind
they miss you in portland, i can tell
you could come home, tell them they had it wrong
we could go back, save the sad songs for another day
