[Chorus: All]
Save a little grace for...
Save a little, save a little
Save a little grace for...
Save a little, save a little
Save a little grace for...
Save a little, save a little
Save a little grace for...
Save a little, save a little
Save a little grace for...
Save a little, save a little
Save a little grace for...
Save a little, save a little
Save a little grace for...
Save a little, save a little
Save a little grace for...
Save a little, save a little
[Refrain: Jake]
Art school girl with ignorant bliss
Peace, weed, cocaine, and mushrooms, and shit
Will bring peace on earth, someday you'll see it
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk

“Whenever I play that song, I get a large amount of nostalgia for high school…it’s like for three minutes I can be in that mindset again.”
