Portsmouth Lyrics

Let's take the long way around, turn right here.
Go down this hill we can leave the car at Cathedral Park Pier.
Her parents used to live right over there.
I think they moved; I have no idea where.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.

See the gray-blue house with the picket fence,
a half block up on the left off Portsmouth?
That was my tree when I was just a kid.
I buried toys in the yard; I'm sure they're still there.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.
You're not there.
You're not there.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.

Let's take the long way around, turn right here.
Go down this hill we can leave the car at Cathedral Park Pier.
Her parents used to live right over there.
I think they moved; I have no idea where.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.

See the gray-blue house with the picket fence,
a half block up on the left off Portsmouth?
That was my tree when I was just a kid.
I buried toys in the yard; I'm sure they're still there.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.
You're not there.
You're not there.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.

Now I need some kind of backup plan
to kill this time left on my hands...
consume the sound of you not there.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
