lyrics

there was a soft rain
and u were melting like a birthday cake
there was a tight lane
there was a car into a frigid lake
i had a bad dream
i had no reason to believe it was fate
we had a good thing
i should have known that it would never take

but if u found a way to make it stick
well would u find that permanence a gift
or just a temporary way to fix
what is permanently wrong with this

i have yr heartstrings
but i was hoping i could have yr word
a permanent thing
a luxury that u could not afford

but if u found a way to make it stick
well would u find that permanence a gift
or just a temporary way to fix
what is permanently wrong with this

what u give to the river returns in the rain

u had a picture
and i could see his features in yr face
and i am so sure
yr missing something i cannot replace

but if u found a way to make it stuck
well would u find that permanence a gift
or just a temporary way to fix
what is permanently wrong with this
