The Milk Carton Kids - Permanent lyrics
[The Milk Carton Kids - Permanent lyrics]
I think I'm going to work construction
Just to make something of myself
I can't live off these childhood
Trophies on my shelf
I want to get my hands dirty
I want to feel a burning in my legs
I want more than a receipt for what I paid
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
I'm still looking for something
A little more permanent i am not a poet
Show me the easy way and I'll do it
No one could ever say that I've
Been trying way too hard
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
They can keep the change and they can keep
'em coming they can talk to who's listening
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
Even If I lay ten million bricks
And they break through the summer haze
Someone will come around and bulldoze
Them down some day
Because everybody loves something new
You get rid of what came before
And it feels 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
I found something a little more permanent
I found someone that I can die with
Just to make something of myself
I can't live off these childhood
Trophies on my shelf
I want to get my hands dirty
I want to feel a burning in my legs
I want more than a receipt for what I paid
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
I'm still looking for something
A little more permanent i am not a poet
Show me the easy way and I'll do it
No one could ever say that I've
Been trying way too hard
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
They can keep the change and they can keep
'em coming they can talk to who's listening
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
Even If I lay ten million bricks
And they break through the summer haze
Someone will come around and bulldoze
Them down some day
Because everybody loves something new
You get rid of what came before
And it feels 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
I found something a little more permanent
I found someone that I can die with
