[English]

The letters I could write

To cure the lonely nights

My pillows in a row

Just to feel you by my side

Life's been moving fast

Like someone lit a match

I can't control the flame

I hope that I don't burn my hand

You say I'm always chasing something

Cross my heart it ain't for nothing

Oh Gracie, I can feel the winds are changing

Don't you ever think you're someone I could lose

Swept away, I don't know where the tide'll take me

Treading water, swear that I'll be home by June

There's nothing I won't do

No mountain I won't move

My tether's tied to you

Polaroids and winding roads

A million miles away from home

You're not here with me

But you've been everywhere I go

I wish that you could see

The way they waltzed in Italy

I stumble home on cobblestones

I hope that I don't lose my feet

You say I'm always chasing something

Cross my heart it ain't for nothing

Oh Gracie, I can feel the winds are changing

Don't you ever think you're someone I could lose

Swept away, I don't know where the tide'll take me

Treading water, swear that I'll be home by June

There's nothing I won't do

No mountain I won't move

My tether's tied to you

I see the future coming

I plan to keep my promise

It'd be you and me

A little dog and a family

I'm sorry I've been rushing

You're the reason for my running

In the end you'll see

How lucky are we

Oh Gracie, I can feel the winds are changing

Don't you ever think you're someone I could lose

Swept away, I don't know where the tide'll take me

Treading water, swear that I'll be home by June

I did it all for you

The mountains that I moved

My tether's tied to you
