This is the first song I've written in a long time (ie. since the breakup). I hadn't played guitar in so long that all my callouses were gone, leaving raw, weak fingers. Hence, the awful guitar in this song. But hey, it's a demo so what the hell. Make of it what you will.

Lyrics:

how's the weather in portland?
i know you're not gonna answer
but i thought i'd try
yes, i thought i'd try anyway

i'm still thinking about the summer we shared
in parks and playgrounds
when perfection was written
across the cloudless sky

and as you tuck yourself into her arms at night
i fall asleep alone, alone
my dreams are long gone from the pills and the smokes
i hope she keeps you warm

where'd you go?
i miss the hour-long phone calls
are you listening?
now i spill all my secrets
to strangers with problems like mine

so how's the weather in portland
the winter's far too long here
wanna be where you are
wanna be right where you are

it's gotta be better
than blowing my heart into a million pieces
when i see pictures of your lips on hers
(your goddamn lips on hers)

where'd you go?
i miss the hour-long phone calls
are you listening?
now i spill all my secrets
to strangers with problems like mine

it's getting harder to breathe
it's getting harder to sleep
it's getting harder to eat
it's getting harder to think

where'd you go?
i miss the hour-long phone calls
are you listening?
i'm gonna spill my secrets
to strangers with problems like mine

so this is the last call that i'll make to you
it's getting dark, it's getting darker, but i'm not scared
so this is the last call that i'll make to you
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
