Easier

It’s easier to forget
A thing you never touch
Than one that slips through your fingers
And it’s easier to live uptown
When you’re down and out
Than when you just feel down
And it’s easier not to call
And it’s easier to brick my wall
Than to say I need you

It’s easier to pretend
Time is on your side
Than to stop wasting time all the time
And it’s easier to crack a smile
Though you’ve been run down
Than to raise your voice and speak
And it’s easier to fall back
To justify a turn off track
Than to live up to it

Cry in the bitter storm
Hide you were ever born
Surrender
Drive up the winding road
Alive in the undertow
Remember
It was you I wanted more
It was you I wanted more
It was you I waited for

Cry in the bitter storm
Hide you were ever born
Surrender
Drive up the winding road
Alive in the undertow

It’s easier to believe
There’s meaning in the end
Than to bear the grey in between
And it’s easier to go back home
When you’ve figured out
The lines we read face to face
And it’s easier to confuse
To blow it off and pay your dues
And it’s easier to write these words
To twist and turn and feel absurd
Than to say I love you
It’s easier not to say I love you.
