Heaven knows I've been close before
Went in battles, but losing worse
I felt peace when you called me yours
All my defences felt to the floor

Kiss me like a drug that I'm addicted to
Give me all you got, I'll give it back to you
And I can't explain how I know
When everything is temporary
Something 'bout you feels so

Permanent, permanent, permanent
Something 'bout you feels so
Permanent, permanent, permanent
Something 'bout you feels so

Carved our names on 5th Avenue
Made a promise you can't undo
No forever till I found you
And now for the first time got nothing to prove
I want you to

Kiss me like a drug that I'm addicted to
Give me all you got, I'll give it back to you
And I can't explain how I know
When everything is temporary
Something 'bout you feels so

Permanent, permanent, permanent
Something 'bout you feels so
Permanent, permanent, permanent
Something 'bout you feels so

Permanent, I'll tattoo your name
I know you're not going away
I don't have to beg you to stay

When everything is temporary
Something 'bout you feels so

Permanent, permanent, permanent
Something 'bout you feels so
Permanent, permanent, permanent
Something 'bout you feels so
