Permanent
Acceptance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep losing track over again,
All these promises won't turn golden until you Touch them
It's permanent,
Nothing is permanent
It's permanent,
We'll be watching your back following Indecision's lasting for years,
Sometime ago,
Memories in my head are starting again,
Speak it fast don't move in slow,
Running through the country maybe they will find me.
It's permanent,
Nothing is permanent
It's permanent,
We'll be watching your back,
We'll be watching your back
Following indecision's lasting for year
Indecision's lasting for years
Like a river in Arizona dried up before you were born
It's starting up again
It's starting up again
It's starting up again (We'll be watching your back)
It's starting up again
It's starting up again
We'll be watching your back its permanent Nothing is permanent
It's permanent
We'll be watching your back
It's permanent
Nothing is permanent
It's permanent
Time is pushing us back (following)
