It’s one for the girl and none for the boy
Stories made for sadness, songs made the joy
A never-ending note to remind you that
Not everyone falls, not everyone breaks
Some get lucky whereas others gotta make
The best of what they got and what they get
Little by little by the grace of God
It’s back to the string and the bottle tops
The same old picture on a different wall
I’ve never found a frame to contain it all
So I’ll make this one last request to
Everyone broken, everyone blue
Anyone that ever fell in love with you
Christ, your eyes look bright tonight
I never thought I’d see the light
Well I’ve never made sense but I’ve always made plans
Yet they fall through the fingers of these crooked old hands
I still cry out
Little by little, by the grace of God
Well, needs bleed and I love to lust
I’ve got a heart of gold but I’m not that sure
If anyone is ever gonna love it no more
I’m a beauty, I’m a beast
So we’re all just sticks, we’re all just stones
Some get kept where others get thrown
With a little bit of luck you’ll make it on
Your own two feet, two minds, to me . . .
You’re better off there than the hell I’m in
Moments, months and memories just freeze
Little by little, by the grace of God
I pray for the voice in my head to stop
The same old picture on a different wall
I’ve never found the means to explain it all
So I’ll make this one last request to you
To you, to you, to you
So it’s one for the girl and none for the boy
Stories made for sadness, songs made for joy
Days like these have always been
To spare the nights so you can dream off
It’s a blue light that hovers above you
Taking these troubles, turning them into
Blue light, reminds me that somehow
After we pass, it sure ain’t the last you’ve seen
