Permanent Ink

permanent ink

Lyrics

these little words would dwarf the highest walls
these little words would lift your banner tall
here they are written on a bathroom stall in permanent ink

oh every time you say three words my heart flies away
i want to draw you wrapped in sunshine and make you smile all day
draw away with me and together we'll find a way to stay permanently, sharply

cuz you + me
it's the perfect day, and every beautiful thing
a flower that blooms in the afternoon
in the middle of the street
in the middle of the night
i write it like a secret
a heart in ink, you + me

if i had an airplane my banner would sing your sweetness
if i had a ship i'd draw your face on the front of it
if i had a kingdom i'd write the throne off for your kiss permanently

Author's Notes

this is a nice little song about olivier. :)

Comments

but this is obviously a cure song. i mean, if you speed it up a tiny bit and have boris williams play drums on it, and then it's pretty much already on "wish". these harmonies completely make my day. yow.

chris vlasses would be a good boris williams substitute. if you think that's unfair, know that boris williams could never come close to substituting for chris vlasses.

yay for happy love songs, so hard to write for some reason!
