Lyrics:
i've had better days than this
words trip like untied shoelaces
still you're worth falling down for once in a while

and i'm disinclined to admit
with you and i this could be it
and something's telling me we'll know before too long

are you really going out there on your own
these tangled lines all come undone
how did it feel when you let go
you try your luck in your best suit
tied to a broken parachute
it's the hole in my heart you fell through

tried reading tea leaves and the stars in all the days we were apart
maybe my mind wasn't made up, but i chose love
still i'm inclined to admit, with you and i this might be it
these failed predictions kept us wondering all the time

i never want to let you down
so why not cut these strings before we hit the ground

and now you're out there on your own
these tangled lines all come undone
tell me how it feels letting go
you try your luck in your best suit
tied to a broken parachute
it's the hole in my heart you fell through

if you say i'm wrong i'll say you're wrong
but no one has to be right
and if you say you're wrong i'll say i'm wrong
nothing could be worth this fight

we try our luck not our strong suit
we can't give up this parachute
oh the hole in my heart you fell through

Grace Ives never pursued music in the traditional sense like many of her peers. Instead, it followed her like a common thread that connected her various dwellings over the past few years. Whether living in Brooklyn with her parents, or in Baltimore while briefly studying at MICA, or the three years following at SUNY Purchase, Grace made music irrespective of setting or ambition. She made pop songs inspired by the sounds of Brittany Spears and Rihanna while surrounded by “punk-er” friends in Maryland, bought and MC 505 to emulate the sound of MIA while surrounded by guitar noodling when the cult of Mitski still loomed large over the SUNY Purchase campus, and opened so many shows to audiences of one, maybe two, that she cannot even think to count. But along the way she won people over, almost literally one-by-one, until audiences began to grow in number. Now, living in Astoria, Queens, Ives regularly leaves home with a blue Ikea bag full of her musical equipment to play shows all over the metro area—to audiences of increasingly insatiable fans.

As for her writing process, her melodic ideas simply do not leave her alone. She is always singing. Much of her work stems from simple and relatable nuggets of experience. It is almost as if putting her thoughts to a melody are a way of processing the world as she sees it unfold around her. These humble origins of her ridiculously catchy songs are, she says, result of a “keep it simple, stupid” approach, one that she pulls off with the fire-y confidence of artists such as Bratmobile or Minutemen.

As Grace would have it: “I’m a man of few words, or just the same words over and over again. Everything about me is very laid back, my music is just supposed to be fun, danceable. I write songs so that they get stuck in people’s heads. I follow a formula. Butterfly is two notes, Mansion is six. I’m trying to keep it minimal, just so I can get this idea out and listen to it. I just try to crank these out, not so I can do something else, like sleep, drink, or go to a party, but so I can do more. I’m relatable, I shop on a budget, I’m your friend, and I want to write songs for you… to dance to. And I’m a great cook—I make a killer bolognese.”
