Permanent Vacation Lyrics by The Academic

Tales From The Backseat

2017

[Verse 1]
Did you find what you had before?
Can you see what you want to ignore?
Yes, there's no doubt about it
Did you buy what you can't afford?
You're waking up on the kitchen floor
Yes, there's no doubt about it
No doubt about it
[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to figure out who you're supposed to be
How'd you find yourself if you never leave
I live my whole life in a fantasy
And I'm about to let go
[Chorus]
What's my motivation?
You see so much more than you could see before
It's a permanent vacation
I'm willing to learn but I won't wait my turn
What's my motivation?
To leave this permanent vacation
[Verse 2]
Can't you drive like we're out of time
You spend your money and you know it's a crime
Yes, there's no doubt about it
So give it up but you don't know why
So kiss goodbye to the summer
Yes, there's no doubt about it
No doubt about it
[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to figure out who you're supposed to be
How'd you find yourself if you never leave
I live my whole life in a fantasy
And I'm about to let go
[Chorus]
What's my motivation?
You see so much more than you could see before
It's a permanent vacation
I'm willing to learn but I won't wait my turn
What's my motivation
To leave this permanent vacation
To leave this permanent vacation
[Bridge]
It's time to go
It's time to go
It's time to go
I said oh
It's time to go
It's time to go
It's time to go
[Chorus]
What's my motivation?
You see so much more than you could see before
It's a permanent vacation I
I'm willing to learn but I won't wait my turn
What's my motivation
To leave this permanent vacation
To leave this permanent vacation
