Permanence - Muscle Memory

there was a soft rain

and you 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 you found a way to make it stick

well, would you find that permanence a gift

or just a temporary way to fix

what is permanently wrong with this

i have your heartstrings

but i was hoping i could have yr word

a permanent thing

a luxury that you could not afford

but if you found a way to make it stick

well, would you find that permanence a gift

or just a temporary way to fix

what is permanently wrong with this

what you give to the river returns in the rain

you had a picture

and i could see his features in your face

and i am so sure

you’re missing something i cannot replace

but if you found a way to make it stick

well, would you find that permanence a gift

or just a temporary way to fix

what is permanently wrong with this
