Packing It Up – Gracie Abrams

Lyrics: Packing It Up by Gracie Abrams

I hope that you get everything you could ask for

The cold side of your pillow

A real break for once

A good peppermint tea

A cool wind on a drive home with no traffic for miles

For spring to come



I swear that I wasn't looking for much

But that's just when you happened

That's right when you happened

Got so damn close to packing it up

But that's just when you happened

Then you happened

Then you happened



Now I'm red in the face

I'm shy all of a sudden

You move, I move, it's something

You fit perfectly and replace every game

You push none of my buttons

And hold me through the morning

Kinda new for me



I swear that I wasn't looking for much

But that's just when you happened

That's right when you happened

I got so damn close to packing it up

But that's right when you happened

Then you happened

Then you happened



I hope that you get my dark sense of humor

Sunsets in the summer with my family

Don't stop talking to me

And maybe stay here forever

We could die here together

I'd do it happily



I'll hold you, I'll know you

I'll never leave out the back door

And I'd love to complete you

Hope you get all you could ask for



'Cause I swear that I wasn't looking for much

But that's just when you happened

That's right when you happened

Got so damn close to packing it up

But that's right when you happened

Then you happened



And I swear that I was looking for someone

And then you happened

Then you happened

Got so damn close to packing it up

But that's when you happened

Then you happened
