Permanent

(album: The Answer Is Always Yes - 2023)

I'm glad the neighbors are moving out
Because I can't listen to him play no more
It's just the same three fucking chords

Their voices ring so loud
Now that they've tossed their couch out onto the pavement
I think that I might take it

'Cause I'm at home on my own
Wishing that I wasn't alone
But I've been here before
Playing the same three fucking chords

Don't wanna get used to this
Unless I know it's permanent
Don't wanna get used to this
In case it's something that I'll miss

Don't wanna get used to this
Unless I know it's permanent
Don't wanna get used to this
In case it's something that I'll miss

Every time I walk up Sutherland
I become taken by the rise and fall
Of coffee shops and parking lots

Wish I had a crystal ball
To tell me how to save us all
But I'll just keep on hanging out
While everyone is leaving town

Don't wanna get used to this
Unless I know it's permanent
Don't wanna get used to this
In case it's something that I'll miss

Don't wanna get used to this
Unless I know it's permanent
Don't wanna get used to this
In case it's something that I'll miss

Tell me that it's alright, then we'll go
Tell me that it's alright, then we'll go
Maybe I'm wasting my time
Maybe I'm losing my mind
I don't wanna go
But I gotta go
I don't wanna go
