  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

  Verse 1

  Rain still on your collar Kettle just about to sing Our shoes are touching by the mat You laugh at nothing, I follow

  Pre-chorus

  Steam is climbing up the window Warmth is finding both our hands I am not ready to look away

  Chorus

  Gracie, the room gets smaller Just your voice and mine, and nothing after Whatever else the day was Gracie, you're the part that stayed with me

  Verse 2

  You kick your boots off sideways Leave a print of where you've been I could trace that mess for hours It means you chose to come home

  Bridge

  No plans, no reason, just this kitchen Just the two of us not saying much Mud drying by the doorway Nowhere else I'd rather be standing

  Chorus

  Gracie, the room gets smaller Just your voice and mine, and nothing after Whatever else the day was Gracie, you're the part that stayed with me

  Outro

  Two pairs of shoes still by the door I'd choose this every time, once more

  Verse 1

  I reach for the sleeve at the same time as you our fingers land there together that battered old cardboard between us now light as a feather

  Pre-chorus

  It's nothing, just vinyl and dust but something in me starts to stir I feel it building slow and sure

  Chorus

  Gracie, you turn small things to gold a record sleeve, a Tuesday night Gracie, I hold onto what I hold you make the ordinary feel right

  Verse 2

  You laugh at the band on the cover some scowling old face from the past I'm watching you more than the music hoping this keeps, hoping it lasts

  Pre-chorus

  It's nothing, just noise and a name but something in me starts to stir I feel it building slow and sure

  Chorus

  Gracie, you turn small things to gold a record sleeve, a Tuesday night Gracie, I hold onto what I hold you make the ordinary feel right

  Bridge

  Maybe it's nothing, this moment we're in maybe it's everything I've got you're steady where the rest of me spins

  Chorus

  Gracie, you turn small things to gold a record sleeve, a Tuesday night Gracie, I hold onto what I hold you make the ordinary feel right

  Outro

  Somewhere there's a sleeve on a shelf holding the shape of two hands
