Dar Williams - The Easy Way |
| [00:04.00] |
|
| [00:10.27] |
I knew a guy, I thought he was my first love, |
| [00:15.53] |
But he had to decide between me and the one before, |
| [00:20.50] |
And she stacked it all up, like a house of cards, |
| [00:24.72] |
Said if he didn't come back, he'd find her flattened on the floor. |
| [00:29.60] |
And though I went and lived in my own Hell, |
| [00:32.44] |
Thought that I could die as well, |
| [00:35.16] |
I let him go where he thought he had to go. |
| [00:39.26] |
|
| [00:40.13] |
Cause I never took heavy words for granted, |
| [00:45.03] |
And I never took the undeserved advantage, |
| [00:49.61] |
No I never took the easy way, |
| [00:54.10] |
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now. |
| [00:59.54] |
|
| [01:01.58] |
Out on the road, I had so many questions, |
| [01:06.62] |
I thought I would explode just for some attention, |
| [01:11.52] |
Like an acolyte, I saw the flames of towering tapers, |
| [01:16.03] |
Almost proselytized by those gleaming piles of paper, |
| [01:21.21] |
Yeah I watched those power huddles |
| [01:23.35] |
And their coats draped over puddles, |
| [01:26.20] |
And their "Trust me, baby, I'm the one you need." |
| [01:30.28] |
|
| [01:31.13] |
But I never took heavy words for granted, |
| [01:35.98] |
And I never took the undeserved advantage, |
| [01:41.19] |
No I never took the easy way, |
| [01:45.41] |
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now. |
| [01:51.04] |
|
| [01:52.65] |
We don't want to be the ones to lie and cheat and slander, |
| [01:58.13] |
So we hold each other up to the higher standard, |
| [02:03.00] |
But I'll tell you what; I'll never try to make it hard. |
| [02:07.91] |
Cause when you're hard just to be hard, |
| [02:10.16] |
The only thing that's hard is you. |
| [02:14.17] |
|
| [02:15.05] |
So here's what I took, I kept the wine and laughter, |
| [02:20.15] |
Until every path just grew up and ever after, |
| [02:24.80] |
Through the peaks and twisty canyons, |
| [02:27.23] |
I made many great companions, |
| [02:29.71] |
Best of all is the one who loves me like you do. |
| [02:34.27] |
|
| [02:35.15] |
Cause I never took heavy words for granted, |
| [02:39.71] |
And I never took the undeserved advantage, |
| [02:44.56] |
No I never took the easy way, |
| [02:48.95] |
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now. |
| [02:53.52] |
|
| [02:54.50] |
Cause I never took heavy words for granted, |
| [02:59.47] |
And it's much too late to even want the shortcut, |
| [03:04.16] |
Yeah, I never took the easy way, |
| [03:08.58] |
So you can take it a little easy on me now. |
| [03:13.51] |
Cause we know that easy's never easy anyhow. |
| [03:19.18] |
