Wish I was on a boat staring at the sky
Instead of standing here watching the grass grow high
I swear - years fly quicker every day
Wish I was on plane staring at this town
Instead of lying here feeling the earth spin around
Some days last a lifetime while others blink away
I want to say what can’t be spoken
I want to know what can never be known
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
But some things are permanent
Wish I could hop that train moving by so fast
Instead of being what it’s flying past
This world - all the tings we let go that’ can’t be replaces
I want to dream what can’t be dreamt of
I want to hear what can never be heard
Some things are permanent
Yeah some things are permanent
Then there’s that moment when you’re standing in front of me
And I realize there’s no place I would rather be
Thank right here just inside the front door
Saying come what may
Come what may
I want to break what should be broken
I want to start what can’t be stopped
So let’s take a ride tonight into the great wide open
Cuz all we’ve got to live is inside these moments
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
But some things are permanent
Some things are permanent
