Portals Lyrics by Katy Kirby

Cool Dry Place (Expanded)

2021

[Verse 1]
I'm an alternate universe in Target lingerie
You're a country song in three-four time
I can see through time in on a clear day
Tastes like black grape and chlorine
And something else that I can't name
Maybe I could describe it
Unless you make me, I won't say
Say, say
[Chorus]
If we peel apart
Will we be stronger than we were before
We had formed ourselves together
In a temporary whole?
And if wе reunite, will we still know
Thе things that we had learned before?
We're not boxes, doors, or borders
We were portals
[Verse 2]
Our arms form a circle
And sometimes when they take that shape
Suddenly I'm in a tunnel
Headed to another state
You're a hand punched through a pane of glass
To get the handle on the other side
Yeah, we're cut on the knuckles
But at least we're open wide
Wide, wide
[Chorus]
If we peel apart
Will we be stronger than we were before
We had formed ourselves together
In a temporary whole?
And if we reunite, will we still know
The things that we had learned before?
We're not boxes, doors, or borders
We were portals
