A glimpse at the couple on vacation, the idyllic life of taking shots on the beach.
This is a moment of their relationship at a crossroads, of the potential for things to go either way, by taking steps forward with a proposal, or letting things go by only living in what feels comfortable.
[Verse 1]
You spoke in Spanish on the beach
I tried to make up my mind
Whether I could understand a word you said
You took my hand and we walked out
I forgot to lock the door
You stood waiting in a long, dark dress
[Chorus]
I wished it
Could be permanent
[Verse 2]
I feel glamorous, do you?
With my shoes taking shots
Oh, that sound of authority
You speak in Spanish and I turn
To watch the musicians play
Standing straight with their smiling eyes
[Chorus]
I wished it
Could be permanent
[Verse 3]
I wondered what you would have done
If I had bought the ring
And decided to go down on one knee
And in an operatic voice
I would start singing with the band
It would be so mortifying
It makes me laugh
[Chorus]
I wished it
Could be permanent
I wished it
Could be permanent
[Verse 4]
On the last day, we were there
You said you wished we could stay
Boarded the plane and everything changed
[Chorus]
I wished it
Could be permanent
I wished it
Could be permanent
