Violent denial chasing
Turning and turning in the morning
Stoned and alone by the evening
It's so nice to have nothing to believe in

First big love big school bully
Little one, you've become so ugly
Sit staring blindly at the sun
Mother of pearl, I'm not the one

'Cause we're gracefully falling apart
A minute to midnight it starts
Drinking coffee in the dark
Trying to hold on hold on to my heart

Gracefully falling apart
A minute to midnight it starts
Drinking coffee in the dark
Trying to hold on to my heart

And I haven't seen him since the summer
And he says he's lost my number
Says he's back here to serenade me
Ooh, vodka and lemonade me
He tells me to set my breath
That smoke is only smoke for an early death
He takes me on another midnight drive
Darling, this is how it feels to be alive

'Cause we're gracefully falling apart
A minute to midnight it starts
Drinking coffee in the dark
Trying to hold on hold on to my heart

Gracefully falling apart
A minute to midnight it starts
Drinking coffee in the dark
Trying to hold on

'Cause we're gracefully falling apart
A minute to midnight it starts
Drinking coffee in the dark
Trying to hold on hold on to my heart

Gracefully falling apart
A minute to midnight it starts
Drinking coffee in the dark
Trying to hold

Trying to hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on to my heart
Coffee in the dark
