Permanent Tourists - The Graduate

Alone on a plane

I woke to the engine’s stop

Planned 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

I 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

I’ve got to 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

I 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

I’ve got to 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

Put this mess in the ground

(The longer that we wait, the harder it’ll be)

Just my luck, you came around

(So if you want to stay, why don’t you come with me?)

Now it seems we’ll always shine

Mine in yours, yours in mine
