If Work Permits Songtext
von The Format

So the wind that blows across your room carried cheap perfume unto your dresser.
It rained for jewelry and for credit cards, two tickets to a film. I dont remember
Oh, one day you′ll kiss your rabbit's nose, pick up the phone to find I′ve been turned over.
And you'll grab that piece of gold only to find that the the smell has taken over
Now All the things you had
They arent the same
As what you hold
And I'm standing in a room it′s filled with older folks Pleading "baby listen"
And i scream as loud as anyone but when asked to make a point i tend to whisper now highways turn to tidal waves and they′re asking me to export all of your insecurities
But that wind that blows across your room its gonna set the sail and send me back to you
Sometimes when sailors are sailing they
Think twice about where they're anchoring and
I think i could make better time of my time on land
I′ll
Drink less 'cause lord knows i could use a Warm kiss
Instead of a cold goodbye
Im writing the folks back home
To tell them
Hey I
Hey i′m doing all right
It's shame what your father did to your brother′s head, he smashed it with a telephone
And Your mother got scared and locked the door
You were only for
But lord you remember it
So now you're scared of love
But im here to tell you love just ain't some blood on the receiver
Love is speaking in code
Its an inside joke
Love is coming home


Sometimes when sailors are sailing they
Think twice about where they′re anchoring and
I think i could make better time of my time on land
I′ll
Drink less 'cause lord knows i could use a
Warm kiss
Instead of a cold goodbye
Im writing the folks back home
To tell them
Hey I
Hey i′m doing alright
Yea im doing just fine
And if she seems as lonely as me
Let her
Sink
Yea I'm doing alright
Yea I′m doing just fine
And if she seems as lonely as me
Let her
Sink
Let her
Sink
Let her
