Graceless Kids - Best Coast

My hands are tied on the sidelines

And I know no one’s gonna come save me

I guess that I could just keep sittin' here

Free fall into imaginary fears

Don’t wanna be all they want me to be

I know I said that years ago

And all this time’s gone by

And still I’m wondering why I care

All these days gone by

It’s still happening

I’m getting further away

From where I used to be

Who am I to keep preaching

To the graceless kids of tomorrow?

They need a hero, not a wreck

I’m just a phony in a floral print dress

I quit drinking so I could stop thinking about

All the shit from years ago

And all this time’s gone by

And still I’m wondering why

I am the queen of the graceless kids

I am the queen of the graceless kids

Guess they see something in me

Wish that I could see what they see

I am the queen of the graceless kids

I am the queen of the graceless kids

Guess they see something in me

Wish that I could see what they see

Aren’t you sick of trying to force a shift?

I’m sick of watching you do it

The only option is to lay down and surrender

And let them help you through it

Slivers of joy peek through but only when you let them

So why don’t you just let them?

I might pretend like I don’t care

Most of the time I swear I don’t

Oh, on the days where nothing makes sense

Please just remember that I love you the most

I might pretend like I don’t care

Most of the time I swear I don’t

Oh, on the days where nothing makes sense

Please just remember that I love you the most
