Portugal. The Man - 1989 Lyrics






I was born in 1989,
All we could do.
No shakes or coughs or burst relief
Or lists of all our things,
Just minutes making minds.

I was born in 1989,
All we could do.
But the making never made,
The comers never came,
But I still felt that awful news.

It was patience that we had,
And the miles that we had left,
That held us there
Until we could let go.

I was born in 1989,
And it'll be over soon.
No moon children or people's sun,
No ringing in my ears
When I felt that awful news.

It was patience that we had,
And the miles that we had left,
That held us there
Until we could let go.

It was patience that we had,
And the miles that we had left,
That held us there
Until we could let go.

I was born in 1989,
All we could do.

It was patience that we had,
And the miles that we had left,
That held us there
Until we could let go.

It was patience that we had,
And the miles that we had left,
That held us there
Until we could let go.

Portugal. The Man 1989 Comments

    I discovered these guys back in 2011, they really dont have a bad album, funny that feel it still was their ice breaker when they had so much greater stuff going on long before, it's good to see years of hard work and phenomenal musical talent pay off, never let your dreams die.

    1989

    Portugal. The Man

    I was born in 1989
    All we could do
    No shakes or coughs or burst relief
    Or lists of all our things
    Just minutes making minds

    I was born in 1989
    All we could do
    But the making never made
    The comers never came
    But I still felt that awful news

    It was patience that we had
    And the miles that we had left
    That held us there
    Until we could let go

    I was born in 1989
    And it'll be over soon
    No moon children or people's sun
    No ringing in my ears
    When I still felt that awful news

    It was patience that we had
    And the miles that we had left
    That held us there
    Until we could let go

    It was patience that we had
    And the miles that we had left
    That held us there
    Until we could let go
    (If our hearts would ever come around)

    I was born in 1989
    All we could do

    And I didn't hurt nobody
    Or any man, any man
    And I didn't hurt nobody
    And I...
    I still felt that awful news

    It was patience that we had
    And the miles that we had left
    That held us there
    Until we could let go

    It was patience that we had
    And the miles that we had left
    That held us there
    Until we could let go
    (If our hearts would ever come around)
