Permanent Thing Songtext
von Jace Everett

Here they come down my street
He′s standing there where I used to be
Look at that stupid grin on his face
Now don't he look so out of place
Poor thing he can′t help himself, just let him have his turn
But baby you and I both know some gifts can't be returned

You're not a permanent thing


That night we met is all it took
By the cigarette machine with babbling brook
I was looking at you, you were looking right back
Got down on one knee and made you laugh
I don′t really blame you girl for messing with his head
I know you′ll be back before I see that boy again

You're not a permanent thing
Lightning strikes but one time girl
You could spend your whole life trying to get it back
Like a snow cone on a sunny day
All he got soon melts away
You′re not a permanent thing
