gracie Lyrics

You came back late after the show

Blinked the lights so I'd know

Music is the sound of your key in the door…

Usually

But tonight you shouldn't have come home

It's not over if we don't talk about it

We could just ignore all the reasons we ever doubted

Let's forget our lives and the world and be happy without it

The hard truth is that our last words will probably be shouting

I flew too close to the sun and got crossed by the stars

Buried my heart in the backyard

I'll bleed you out into Dad's old guitar

And bandage me up at a dive bar

Reclaim the cupholders in my tiny car

No more coffee there in mason jars

This time we took things a little too far

Just left with a Gracie-shaped scar

A Gracie-shaped scar

Gracie, I don't understand

You make it so difficult to be your man

All I wanted was to hold your cold hands

but I'm alone with what's left of our plans

It's not over if I don't look at you tonight

Maybe in our dreams, it won't matter who's wrong and who's right

I can't say goodbye, but hello's just another long fight

Hold onto me hard, you got me at least till morning light

Till we get too close to the sun and get crossed by the stars

Bury our hearts in the backyard

I'll bleed you out into Dad's old guitar

And bandage me up at a dive bar

You'll move to France and send me a postcard

Of you on some famous boulevard

Hate how much I still care where you are

Blame it on my Gracie-shaped scar

My Gracie-shaped scar
