Lyrics

Permanent Colours

[Verse 1]

Hide away alone, language knows you more

Escapable situations to go between homes

Don't be defeated by the feeling

That there's too much to know

And too much that you′ll never know

[Chorus]

I said, I want more to life

I want more to life

There must be more life

Still to find, still to find out

I want more to life

I want more to life

There must be more life

Still to find, still to find

[Verse 2]

It's why you hide away alone

To avoid disaster You feel better when The night

Dissolves Into thе fire And don't be defеated by

The feeling that you′re always alone

It's the here in the hereafter

[Chorus]

There must be more to life

I want more to life

There must be more life

Still to find, still to find out

I want more to life

I want more to life

I want more to life

To life, to life, to life, to life

And I want more to life

I want more to life

I want more to life

To life, to life, to life, to life
