lyrics

I would bring you flowers, all the bright colors
Like oranges and reds
I would take your photograph but it’s already
Hanging in my head
I’d like to be to you someone who is permanently true
Like an old mixed tape you can’t replace or exchange for something new

I’m trying to tell you with the simplest three words
The way you look at me makes me wonder if I’ll ever get through
That I love you

I would be your lover if you’d let me love you
In the broad daylight
I would cover you with kisses in the morning
And into the night
I’d like to be to you someone who is permanently true
Truer than your mother the first day that she laid her eyes on you

I’m trying to sing to you the simplest of songs
I’ve made myself a fool just trying to get you to sing along
Would you just sing along?

If you were a sparrow then I’d be a sparrow
Just to be close
And if you were a mouse I’d find a way to squeeze
Into your mousy home
I’d like to be to you someone who is permanently true
So darling you could run away, but you best be sure
I’d be running after you

Oh, you say I’m just a picture on your wall
You joke with my name but, darling, remember I called
I’ll call again for you
I’ll call again for you
Permanently true

The Eyes Seattle, Washington

We believe in "do-it-yourself" and "use-what-you-got". Music has to be a hands on experience. It's creation over consumption. It's the book we just finished, the friend we just met, the laundry and the dishes. It's every sunset and celebration - sung out loud. Grab a banjo or a pan from the kitchen. This is a free-for-all. ... more
