Tripped And Fell in Portland Lyrics
The secret's out. Our lips are wide as oceans
I sold my eyes for emerald dimes.
The edges blur, the walls are bending.
You bite like you don't have any teeth to break my skin.
I feel like she's on fire.
And every room is another world I'm walking in
We couldn't get much higher
I tripped and fell so deep I can't come down.
How did you run into a door that's wide open? Get ahold of yourself.
I tripped and fell so deep I can't come down.
Our hands are melting maps. Balancing on a fence the change made no sense.
The edges stir, the walls are dancing...
I steal everything just to give it back again. Trust me i'm a liar.
And all the words I bought, they aren't worth anything.
We couldn't get much higher.
I tripped and fell so deep I can't come down...
Brace yourself. There's no way out. We left our minds behind.
Climbing the blinds, fabricating time, 'till we come back to life.
I tripped and fell so deep I can't come down.
I sold my eyes for emerald dimes.
The edges blur, the walls are bending.
You bite like you don't have any teeth to break my skin.
I feel like she's on fire.
And every room is another world I'm walking in
We couldn't get much higher
I tripped and fell so deep I can't come down.
How did you run into a door that's wide open? Get ahold of yourself.
I tripped and fell so deep I can't come down.
Our hands are melting maps. Balancing on a fence the change made no sense.
The edges stir, the walls are dancing...
I steal everything just to give it back again. Trust me i'm a liar.
And all the words I bought, they aren't worth anything.
We couldn't get much higher.
I tripped and fell so deep I can't come down...
Brace yourself. There's no way out. We left our minds behind.
Climbing the blinds, fabricating time, 'till we come back to life.
I tripped and fell so deep I can't come down.

What are the lyrics at the end of the song ? it concerns "Can I take you home?" here it's what I've got :
Alright ..., are you ready? Ya
"Please forgive me I don't want to hurt anymore, My heart is breaking (breaking ...) Can I take you home? Open yourself up to me and surrender. Can I take you home? Please forgive me We lock out the world and we'll stay here forever."
There's some stuff missing ! Do you know what he is singing ?
that was kind of a transition to "can i take you home?" on the CD they made it so where the end part of that sounds like the beginning of the next song, which was "can i take you home?" and it would flow together and it was like a special bonus thing to the end of this song too:)

I thought that in the booklet it said that part of this song, the end, was an apology to someone? I'm not exactly sure, but I think it was like they got high and he did something and at the end, he's just saying he's sorry to whoever he hurt. Either way, it's a really good song.

lmao hes basically talking about being high or trippin over somehting and what hes saying is all what hes experienceing and thinking and feeling while on that "trip"
yea it is about trippin cuz they say "emerald dimes" that could be pot. even though its not really emerald.
Interesting - I understand this song very much as part of a larger context...
I take that, the "door that's wide-open" he ran into, could be a naive girl. Possibly too young, that would make it a secret in any case, as "balancing on a fence - the charge made no sense" indicates some sort of grey-area crime...
Though the drug reference seems clear, it may be understood to mean generic elation of 'tripping' - what he experienced, when he persuaded her to join him in bed.
I think that this song is about people that are high, and they the rooms feel like different worlds and things like that because of that. By the way, it's the walls are bending. It's in the lyrics in the booklet in the album.
