Portugal
Riley Pearce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some day we will
Stay out for the lights over the Mondego
Or watch it all from the hill
In a broken down house
With a storm on the way
You'll read and I'll write songs
When it all goes bad
When it all goes bad
There's still someone here I call home
We didn't make it to Portugal
That's just how it went
But what you find when you're not looking
That's how the best days are spent
With the sky opened up
We're yet to make it through town
I see my future in a red floral dress
And she smiles at this mess that we've found
When it all goes bad
When it all goes bad
There's still someone here I call home
You can hold me for warmth
I'll hold you cause I need you
You're the feeling of home
And that's just where I'll meet you
You are the fresh pair of socks
You are the right kinds of wrong
You are the well-timed distraction
You are my landing song
You are my landing song

Line by Line Meaning
We didn't make it to Portugal
Our plans to go to Portugal didn't work out
Some day we will
We still hope to go to Portugal in the future
Stay out for the lights over the Mondego
We want to enjoy the beauty of Mondego river illuminated at night
Or watch it all from the hill
We also want to admire Mondego river from a hilltop
In a broken down house
We may not have a perfect house to stay in
With a storm on the way
But we are facing obstacles and challenges as a couple
You'll read and I'll write songs
Yet, we will find time to enjoy our personal hobbies and interests
For the better half of our day
And spend significant time doing those things together
When it all goes bad
Even when things get tough
There's still someone here I call home
I have my partner, who is my home and safe haven
That's just how it went
Not all things will work out, and that's alright
But what you find when you're not looking
Sometimes, unexpected things can bring more joy and happiness
That's how the best days are spent
And often, the best memories are made this way
With the sky opened up
The sky is clear and beautiful
We're yet to make it through town
We still have a long way to go in our journey together
I see my future in a red floral dress
I have a vision of our future together, and she is wearing a red floral dress
And she smiles at this mess that we've found
And she is happy and content, even in our imperfection
You can hold me for warmth
We can offer comfort to each other
I'll hold you cause I need you
And we need each other to feel complete
You're the feeling of home
We feel at home with each other, no matter where we are
And that's just where I'll meet you
And we will always find each other, no matter where we go or what we face
You are the fresh pair of socks
You bring the feeling of freshness and comfort to my life
You are the right kinds of wrong
Even your imperfections are perfect for me
You are the well-timed distraction
You know how to ease my mind and make me forget about my worries
You are my landing song
You give me comfort and stability, like a good song that I can always rely on
