Portugal
Walk the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know everyone I know
A venn diagram is one circle
You grow up when you're not looking
We grow up but without knowing
And all of a sudden I'm leaving
'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
Cus 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
But 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
That 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
Take me with you
'Cause even on your own (you are alone)
You are not alone
Take me with you
'Cause even by yourself
You carry with you anyone else
The song "Portugal" by Walk the Moon is a nostalgic reflection on growing up and the changes that come with it. The lyrics begin with the idea that the people we meet in life are interconnected, as evidenced in the lyrics "I know everyone you know, you know everyone I know, a venn diagram is one circle." The song then delves into the idea that we grow up without realizing we are doing so, and suddenly we find ourselves leaving and moving on. The chorus repeats the phrase "Take me with you" in a plea for connection and companionship during the journey of growing up.
The second verse speaks of the passing of time and how memories can stay with us even as life changes around us. The mention of Portugal suggests a place of significance and importance in the singer's life. The bridge of the song touches on the idea that everyone wants what someone else has, and no matter what we have achieved, someone else may have had it worse or already done it before us.
Through the repeated plea to be taken along on the journey, "Portugal" becomes a nostalgic reflection on growing up, as well as a commentary on the universal experience of longing for companionship and understanding during times of change.

I know everyone you know
We share the same social circle
You know everyone I know
We share the same social circle
A venn diagram is one circle
Our social circles completely overlap
You grow up when you're not looking
We don't realize we're maturing
We grow up but without knowing
We don't realize we're maturing
And all of a sudden I'm leaving
Leaving our youth behind happens suddenly
So I say I'm sorry I can't, I've got plans
I apologize for not being able to attend
'Cause I watched the time slip through my hands
Time passes by quickly
But you don't know now
You lack experience and understanding
One day you'll learn
You'll gain experience and understanding
Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn
Maturity is difficult to embrace
Take me with you
Let's face maturity together
Cus even on your own
Even when alone
You are not alone
You're not truly alone
'Cause even by yourself, my love
Even when alone
You are something else
You're unique and special
One summer turns into ten summers
Time passes by quickly
One lover turns into ten lovers
We experience many relationships
But this memory is still with me
Some memories stay with us
Circles bring me in circles
We keep returning to the same situations
Your clothes underneath my clothes
Intimate relationship references
Once upon a time in Portugal
Referencing past experiences
No matter what you want
Someone else wants it too
Somebody else wants it just as bad
Someone else wants what you want
No matter what you got
Someone else has it worse
Somebody else has got it worse
Someone else has it worse than you
No matter when I got to you
No matter when we connected
Somebody else got to you first
Someone else connected with you before me

One day you'll learn
Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn
A heavy leaf to turn
Take me with you
Cus even on your own,
You are not alone

By far my favorite WTM song of all time

It's so uncanny how my last girlfriend and I called this our song for a period of time, completely oblivious to the lyrics talking about growing apart but still wishing well for the other person.
After a nasty break up and a lengthy reconciliation it turned out to be a pretty damn good song for us.

This song reminds me a lot of 2016 when I first moved to Walk The Moon's hometown of Cincinnati for college. What an incredible summer that was, and how this song reminds me a lot of that European feel where I can only think of soccer with it for some reason. Maybe because it sounds like a FIFA song haha. Miss those days of being young, not caring for the future and just great times and memories. Summer 2016 in Ohio will never be topped.

This song got me thru pretty rough times when I had drama with some friends of mine. Back then, I hadn’t known this song was about people drifting apart. It describes exactly what happened to me but despite all that this song helped me to pull thru regardless. Thanks Walk The Moon.
