David Cook - David Cook (2008)
"Permanent" Lyrics Is this the moment where I look you in the eye? Forgive my broken promise that you’ll never see me cry And everything, it will surely change even if I tell you I won’t go away today Will you think that you’re all alone When no one’s there to hold your hand? And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary rest your head I’m permanent I know he’s living in hell every single day And so I ask oh god is there some way for me to take his place And when they say it’s all touch and go I wish I could make it go away But still you say Will you think that you’re all alone when no one’s there to hold your hand? When all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary, rest your head I’m permanent I’m permanent Is the moment where I look you in the eye? Forgive my promise that you’ll never see me cry |

I cried so much when I heard this song.
Knowing that he wrote it about Adam made me cry even more. |

This song totally made me cry!
Like Kelly said just knowing it is about Adam, you know you will need to get the kleenex box out! His voive is so tender and emotional on this song I love it! I think I read somewhere that David had to leave and compose himself during the recording of this song. I so want to give him a big hug!  |

This song seriously has some of the most beautiful lyrics I've ever read and the fact that it's about his brother makes the impact of it hit you so much harder. I love when he shouts out the two "I'm permanent" parts. I was surprised this is the shortest song on the CD (I think) but it's definitely one of my favorites. My favorite line is "Forgive my promise that you'll never see me cry". He'll make everyone listening to the song cry with that line.

This song made me cry my eyes out. Right when I heard the first line I knew it was about his brother and he put so much heart into the lyrics I don't know where to begin..

This song just makes me cry so much you can just feel the raw emotion in his voice and it kills me. Such a beautiful song from David to his brother.

This song is gorgeous!! I just heard it for the first time, listening to my iTunes version. I was reading the lyrics at the same time, and didn't realize until the second part of the song that it was about his brother--where it says "Oh god if I could take his place". *Heart-wrenching*. I was teary-eyed before then, but cried at that. Eeeeeee, makes me wanna hug David!

The lyrics are good. So poetic. But the way he sings it, it's heartbreaking. There is pain all over. This is him at his best vocal. Ever. "The World I Know" is now so far away.
Could you ever hear this song without crying? |

I have listened to this song over and over since getting the CD. Oh my God ... I have cried every time. I love it and I can't get enough of it. This song is the epitomy of David. It's absolutely fantastic.

"And so I ask oh god is there some way for me to take his place?"
I think those are some of the saddest lyrics in there, especially with the way he sings them.... **tear, sniffle** Will you think that you’re all alone when no one’s there to hold your hand? i'd hold ur hand david...... |

We're talking about Permanent in the Song Meanings thread of the Self-Titled Album strand. At least we started to. I think Permanent is a very special song. But it changed in meaning for me after about 30 or 40 times -- suddenly I realized a different way to interpret the lyrics and it was a new song. If this happens to you and you want to comment, see you in Song Meanings! NEMO Cougar |

It's a really beautiful song - maybe the best one on the CD. I'm glad Adam got to hear.

"And so I ask oh god is there some way for me to take his place?"
That line right there..... that is what got me. It is so sad! He really puts his emotions and feelings into the songs he writes. It is so beautiful.... yet very as people would say "heart-wrenching". I haven't heard the whole song yet, but when I read the lyrics... yeah wow. I cried. I don't think one person on here who posted a comment didn't cry. Wow David, you make us laugh and cry! Yeah, probably the most emotional and personal song on the album. That's all I wanted to say. |
