Permanent Records

Coughing blood on my face
I know it's something, but it isn't great
It's pretty bitter, the taste
I guess it's something, but it's not okay
Please, put this up on my permanent record
Then push me up against all of the bedposts
And you leave me on read
'Til I run around inside my head

Why lead me on in this way?
Calculate the move before you play
Made me count all my shame
And you were different and I was the same
Don't put this up on my permanent record
You kissed my head and I wasn't a shadow
Then you leave me on read
And make me think it happened in my head

I would've made my bed your hotel
Turned the counter to an altar
The clock would just be squiggly lines
Your wrinkles would be diamond mines
You're a ghost and I'm a castle
You can scare me, you can rattle
You can freeze the blood inside my vein
I promise that I'll do the same to you

Ooh
Ooh
Boo

You say "hello", I say "hej"
Oh, what sweet hell have you prepared today?
Will you come? Will you stay?
Dinner and movie or just go away?
I'll put this up on your permanent record
You look at me even if you don't want to
Thinking 'bout you in bed
But you don't give a shit, you never have

You paint me, I give you names
But you don't love me and that's not okay
'Cause I would rather be dead
Than pretending it don't make me sad
They put this up on our permanent records
We are too good, baby, we are both Virgos
And so here is this track
There were some things that needed to be said
I want the pebble back

I would've made my bed your hotel
Turned the counter to an altar
The clock would just be squiggly lines
Your wrinkles would be diamond mines
You're a ghost and I'm a castle
You can scare me, you can rattle
You can freeze the blood inside my vein
I promise that I'll do the same to you

Ooh
Ooh
Boo

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Boo
