about

This started out with a lyric about a summer friend I had and the troubles he had with his girlfriend. The line: 'why can't you just grow old with Grace?' was my though upon his situation.

The song evolved evolved into something else. A commentary on beauty and beauty's perception, from the eyes of a person who loves their partner as the world made them.

Despite this, every time I sing that line I still think of my friend and his girlfriend, Grace. I never told them about the it, i probably still won't (unless they read this of course.)

As far as i know they are still together.

lyrics

Take the mask off
How do i know you've laughed before?
You're feet have walked a thousand floors,
i'd like to know what made you, you.

I love the creases.
Emotion left a gift upon your face
A thousand times that you say you're ashamed,
You'll show your looks, your soul, your age.

I don't care about the wrinkles, around your pretty face.
Why can't you just grow old with grace?
I don't care about the wrinkles, that surround your pretty face.
Why don't you just grow old with grace.
Why don't you just grow old with grace.

Drop the surgeon,
A knife won't fix what never really broke.
A thousand scars and oh, that wad of notes
Might change your looks, but it won't change you.

I'll still love you,
The you I know, won't need that fake facade.
Years on i'll still thank my lucky stars
That I'm yours, with all the edges.

I don't care about the wrinkles, around your pretty face.
Why can't you just grow old with grace?
I don't care about the wrinkles, that surround your pretty face.
Why don't you just grow old with grace.
Why don't you just grow old with grace.
With grace,
With Grace.
