Permanent Tourists Songtext
von The Graduate

Alone on a plane
I woke to the engine stop
Plan a course outside
Just to get caught up
By every obstacle along the way

So much to explain
And only a single day to plead my case
There′s nothing else to do
Just hope it's not too late

For far too long
I kept you in the dark
Can′t believe it took so long to start


How can I find you now?
'Cause it feels like time is running out
And I said when I left
That I would not ever let you down
Gotta find my way back somehow
I am much older now
And I feel like time is running out
When we get to the end
Can you promise that you'll be around?
If I make you that promise now

Back out on the endless road that′s become my home
This entire year on the lam has shown me
All the more that this is in my blood

I don′t mean to alarm
But the past two months have left me hysterical
It's time for something new
I get crazy without you

And all along
We tried to keep apart
Can′t believe it took so long to start


How can I find you now?
'Cause it feels like time is running out
And I said when I left
That I would not ever let you down
Gotta find my way back somehow
I am much older now
And I feel like time is running out
When we get to the end
Can you promise that you′ll be around?
If I make you that promise now

Driving back
To our town
Take it slow
Keep it down

(The longer that you wait) Put this mess
(The harder it'll be) In the ground
(So if you want to stay) Just my love
(Why don′t you come with me?) You came around

(The longer that you wait) Now it seems
(The harder it'll be) We'll let it shine
(So if you want to stay) Mine and yours
(Why don′t you come with me?) Yours and mine

(The longer that you wait) Driving back
(The harder it′ll be) To our town
(So if you want to stay) Take it slow
(Why don't you come with me?) Keep it down

(The longer that you wait) Put this mess
(The harder it′ll be) In the ground
(So if you want to stay) Just my love
(Why don't you come with me?) You came around
