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
