Everyone Knows Everyone Lyrics
The city where I live
The faces in the crowd
It all just makes me stop to think
This is what I've found
Everyone knows everyone
Everyone knows what everyone does
It's cloudy now but that's OK
Sitting around here all day
See I've got this friend
Who just complains about getting out
Said I'm gonna sell my stuff and quit my band
And move out east or anyhow
Cuz everyone knows everyone
Everyone knows what everyone does
It's rainy now and I can't wait
To get out of here someday
There's no escaping
There's nothing to escape
For no good reason
I think I'm gonna stay
Cuz everyone knows everyone
Everyone knows what everyone does
It's sunny out and that's OK
Running around here all day
The faces in the crowd
It all just makes me stop to think
This is what I've found
Everyone knows what everyone does
It's cloudy now but that's OK
Sitting around here all day
Who just complains about getting out
Said I'm gonna sell my stuff and quit my band
And move out east or anyhow
Everyone knows what everyone does
It's rainy now and I can't wait
To get out of here someday
There's nothing to escape
For no good reason
I think I'm gonna stay
Everyone knows what everyone does
It's sunny out and that's OK
Running around here all day
he's talking about portland oregon. and his feelings about living here. the video for this are just a bunch of places in downtown portland... which is way cool
He probably longs to see what is outside of Oregon, but is content with ties he has to state. He wants to spread his wings, but always thinks, "why? I'm happy where I'm at, but it'd be nice to look around...maybe....one day..."
I live in Portland, and I think he wrote it because all though Portland is a large city, it's still small enough in that you see familiar faces almost daily.
