China Bears - Gracie Lyrics

Gracie says I should write it down.
It'll help me figure my own thoughts out.
She sees the fire in my eyes and wants to understand.
She's doing everything a good friend can.

I'm sceptic but I'll give it a try.
She has this way of making me feel alright.
I put pen to paper with shaking hands,
I put pen to paper without a plan.

The only words I could figure down,
Will you tire of this?
Will you tire of me?
Your voice always catches me,
I fall into every word.
I just need reminding good timing takes work.

Gracie sparks a match in my hand,
And says I'll be here long after this burns out.
We sit and watch the fire turn the paper to ash,
We sit and watch the fire until we both just laugh.

Oh you got to ignore the beaten path.
You'll grow tired of it,
It'll grow tired of you.
Your voice always catches me,
I fall into every word.
I just need reminding good timing takes work.

That is not how I see you when I look your way.
You are more than the pain that you bare, more than this place.
That is not how I see you when I look your way.
You are more than the pain that you bare, more than this place.
And you're gonna be okay.

Gracie says I should write it down.
It'll help me figure my own thoughts out.
She sees the fire in my eyes and wants to understand.
She's doing everything a good friend can."
