Grace Car Part 1 Lyrics - Braid

i saw your picture today on a card 

i tried so hard 

to remember that smiling face you placed 

on my princess pillow in that broken down car 

last summer 

you sang to me so beautifully 

you were promised to me like a ring to a tree 

but you cut it all off and 

that's what kills me 

pilot of lies 

who sat at the bat while i sat home and cried 

your hands were not tied 

you knew exactly where to hide 

and hitch a ride 

to 

one two three 

cali FOR nia 

"now honey i'm so sorry 

if i whistle hollywood happy 

look where it gets me." 

you show so painfully long 

but i sat and stared as if nothing was wrong 

as for the songs 

the beauty is there 

but the grace car's gone 

(gone, take me down) 

and i don't want to be a part 

of music vs. the heart. 

we all stay in tune 

we all swear it's true 

we all stay in tune 

we all swear it's true 

(without going overhead or upperhanded jests just fly by 

more time to get to know you, and less of me 

you can't buy my time) 

with your (we have?) pretty faces 

to be replaced 

in unsafe places 

at least our car will go down with some grace 

(grace, take me down)
