Azalea Place

East 8th to Azalea Place
Headphones, head down, lost in Paper Planes
Quick glance in the rear view
How's your Thursday?

Said: I guess I can't complain
It's the warmest day we've had now in a week
He said: It's easy to forget about the devil on a day like this
Called him optimistic, told him I was worried

Money's tight, I can't make rent
And my girl just up and left again
And he said
Gratitude and grace

Check your perspective
Breathe in for a second with
Gratitude and grace
There's one life worth living

Tomorrow ain't given
So clear eyes and full heart till I'm gone
East 8th to Azalea Place
Head's up, phone's down, driver tell me more

In your years have you shed tears?
Forgive me, I'm naive, don't know what it's all for
He said: Son, it was July of 2020
When I lost my sweet Virginia in the worst year I remember

It took awhile to get back my smile
I'll tell you it wasn't easy
Had to move on, had to keep on, had to lean on
Gratitude and grace

Check your perspective
Breathe in for a second with
Gratitude and grace
There's one life worth living

Tomorrow ain't given
So clear eyes and full heart till I'm gone
Hey, till I'm gone
So go on write your name right on this page and circle it

So I know just who it is that I'll pray for
'Cause life gets hard and days get long and we're all gonna hurt a bit
But tonight I'm asking God to give you
Gratitude and grace

Check your perspective
Breathe in for a second with
Gratitude and grace
There's one life worth living

Tomorrow ain't given
Clear eyes and full heart till I'm gone
Till I'm gone, oh
Oh, till I'm gone

Oh (oh), hey (hey), hey, yeah
Till I'm, till I'm gone
Yeah, yeah
Till I'm gone
