Cover art for Permanent lyrics by David Cook

The first verse & chorus are from Adam's point of view & the second verse is from David's point of view.

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye? - Adam facing the possibility of his own death

Forgive my broken promise that you�ll never see me cry And everything, it will surely change even if I tell you I won�t go away today Will you think that you�re all alone When no one�s there to hold your hand? And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary rest your head I�m permanent ---- Adam is the oldest brother (David's the middle one & Andrew is younger) so he's trying to be strong for his younger brothers

I know he's living in hell every single day And so I ask oh God is there some way for me to take his place And when they say it�s all touch and go I wish I could make it go away ----Now David's talking, pretty self-explainitory...

But still you say----The key phrase in the whole song IMHO because it proves that Adam was the one talking in the first verse/chorus

Will you think that you�re all alone when no one�s there to hold your hand? When all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary, rest your head I�m permanent I�m permanent

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye? Forgive my promise that you�ll never see me cry

& I am POSITIVE it's I'm -all- the way through the song.

I agree, and with the "Is this the moment where I look you in the eye" is refering to death, like a story, he is actually saying "Is this the moment where I look Death in the eye"
