Permanent

Well, I think I'm gonna work construction
Just to make something of myself.
I can't live off these childhood trophies
On my shelf.
And I wanna get my hands dirty,
I wanna feel the burning in my legs,
I want more than a receipt
For what I paid.
Because everybody loves something new
'cause you can open it and plug it in,
And it feels like a good night's sleep,
like the girl you like paid you a compliment
They can keep the change
And they can keep 'em coming;
They can talk to who's listening
But i'm still looking for something a little more...
Permanent.
Well, i am not a poet,
Show me the easy way and I'll do it.
No one cold ever say that I've been trying
Way too hard...
'Cause everything that I have ever owned
Got dusty and old.
So i threw it out
Just to make myself some room.
I'm like everybody, I love something new
'Cause you can open it and plug it in
And it feels like a good night's sleep
Like the girl you like paid you a compliment.
And they can keep the change
And they can keep em coming
that can talk to who's listening
But I'm still looking for something that I can
Die with...
If my luck is running out,
Please don’t let it be so with love
It’s been a long year
But I’m not ready to give up
Cause even if I lay ten million bricks
And they break through the summer haze
Someone will come around and bulldoze them down
Someday...
Because everybody loves something new,
You get rid of what came before
And it fells like a long hot shower,
Like getting in your bed when the sheets are warm.
So they can keep construction and they can keep em coming
And I won’t be listening
Cause I found something a little more…
Permanent.
Oh yes,
I found someone that I can
Die with...
