Permanent Vacation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Did you find what you had before?
Can you see what you want to ignore?
Yes, there’s no doubt about it
Did you buy what you can’t afford?
You’re waking up on the kitchen floor
Yes, there’s no doubt about it
No doubt about it
Trying to figure out who you’re supposed to be
How’d you find yourself if you never leave
I live my whole life in a fantasy
And I’m about to let go
What’s my motivation?
You see so much more than you could see before
It’s a permanent vacation
I’m willing to learn but I won’t wait my turn
What’s my motivation?
To leave this permanent vacation
Can’t you drive like we’re out of time
You spend your money and you know it’s a crime
Yes, there’s no doubt about it
So give it up but you don’t know why
So kiss goodbye to the summer
Yes, there’s no doubt about it
No doubt about it
Trying to figure out who you’re supposed to be
How’d you find yourself if you never leave
I live my whole life in a fantasy
And I’m about to let go
What’s my motivation?
You see so much more than you could see before
It’s a permanent vacation
I’m willing to learn but I won’t wait my turn
What’s my motivation
To leave this permanent vacation
To leave this permanent vacation
It’s time to go
It’s time to go
It’s time to go
I said oh
It’s time to go
It’s time to go
It’s time to go
What’s my motivation?
You see so much more than you could see before
It’s a permanent vacation
I’m willing to learn but I won’t wait my turn
What’s my motivation
To leave this permanent vacation
To leave this permanent vacation
