Permanence

[00:15.45] We sing our love songs in the dark (so no one has to hear the sparks)
[00:19.60] We hold our seances by streetlamp light (in Queen's Park, when the moon's just right)
[00:23.10] Tom says he can hear the colors (when he holds his eyes together real tight)
[00:30.45] I want permanence in the little things
[00:35.05] While I leak rust from my broken jeans
[00:38.72] I want to feel chaotic
[00:41.84] But calm enough to hold you in the morning
[01:00.67] We look for patterns in the static (play hide and seek in your deathtrap of an attic)
[01:06.46] And there's a door that leads to nothing (well, I'm sure that stands for something)
[01:09.46] But I hold my breath (and pray when the summer ends)
[01:13.31] You still haven't found me
[01:16.66] I want permanence in the little things
[01:20.31] While I leak rust from my broken jeans
[01:24.29] I want to feel chaotic (chaotic)
[01:27.96] But calm enough to hold you in the morning
[01:46.68] I want it all and I want nothing
[01:50.27] I wish this came with instructions
[01:54.02] I could press up, up, down, down, left, right, left
[01:57.92] Watch my beat-up Vans become a private jet
[02:01.87] And we could fly out to Alaska (to reach the heavens)
[02:05.86] Bathe everything in kerosene
[02:09.24] And sing, "Bye, bye, Miss American Pie"
[02:13.06] Pushed your Toyota to the motor, but the tank ran dry
[02:17.91] I want permanence in the little things
[02:21.36] While I leak rust from my broken jeans
[02:25.28] I want to feel chaotic (chaotic)
[02:28.46] But calm enough to hold you in the morning
[02:33.15] I want permanence in the little things
[02:36.53] While I leak rust from my broken jeans
[02:40.54] I want to feel chaotic (chaotic)
[02:43.70] But calm enough to hold you in the morning
[02:51.18] In the morning
[02:58.54]
