Concrete and Departure Boards
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
Two suitcases lean against my legs
I keep one hand pressed to your back
The board above us flickers and begs
Some numbers change, but you don't, you don't slack

[Pre-chorus]
I've counted every minute we've got left
Watched the seconds fall like rain
Don't want to let go of your hand yet

[Chorus]
Gracie, hold on a little longer here
Every departure feels like a small death
Gracie, you're the one thing I hold dear
Steady as my breath, steady as my breath

[Verse 2]
You laugh at nothing, just to ease the wait
Your fingers find the strap on my bag
I watch you fight against the weight
Of goodbyes that always seem to drag

[Pre-chorus]
I've counted every minute we've got left
Watched the seconds fall like rain
Don't want to let go of your hand yet

[Chorus]
Gracie, hold on a little longer here
Every departure feels like a small death
Gracie, you're the one thing I hold dear
Steady as my breath, steady as my breath

[Bridge]
No matter where the trains all go
You're the reason I don't feel low
Whatever platform, whatever place
I'll find my way back to your face

[Chorus]
Gracie, hold on a little longer here
Every departure feels like a small death
Gracie, you're the one thing I hold dear
Steady as my breath, steady as my breath

[Outro]
Two suitcases rest, the board goes still
I'm holding on, and I always will
