Andy Shauf - Spanish on the Beach lyrics

You spoke in Spanish on the beach
I tried to make up my mind
Whether I could understand a word you said
You took my hand and we walked out
I forgot to lock the door
You stood waiting in a long, dark dress

I wished it could be permanent

I feel glamorous, do you?
With my shoes taking shots
Oh, that sound of authority
You speak in Spanish and I turn
To watch the musicians play
Standing straight with their smiling eyes

I wished it could be permanent

I wondered what you would have done
If I had bought the ring
And decided to go down on one knee
And in an operatic voice
I would start singing with the band
It would be so mortifying it makes me laugh

I wished it could be permanent
I wished it could be permanent

On the last day, we were there
You said you wished we could stay
Boarded the plane and everything changed

I wished it could be permanent
I wished it could be permanent
