It Comes Easy lyrics
by Harrison Boe
Picking a spot with a sunset
When you wanna say goodbye
Is choosing wood for a coffin
Such a lovely way to die
I don't die all that often
Unless you want me to try
I'd do anything for you
You're so disciplined
You're running marathons
Yeah, you're putting in late hours
I'm still putting you in songs
And you'd laugh at me still
But smile half as long
And be glad I'm happy too, yeah
Oh, I bet it comes easy
To let it in and let it go
You're so healthy, you're so whole
Bet you think it's easy
Took a while, it took a toll
The evening when I finally chose to mourn you
In the same place where we touched
And you said that this love was so easy
You said my roots would be the death of me
And this town was a tomb
I told you bury me slowly
I'd make room enough for two
When those grave robbers dug past my bones to get to you
Honey, why didn't you wake me up too?
Oh, I'm no good at breaking habits
But I found comfort in your absence
I know you don't get it
We don't feel the same
Imagine a funeral with no body, with no pastor, with no grave
Oh, I bet it comes easy
To let it in and let it go
You're so healthy, you're so whole
Bet you think it's easy
Took a while, it took a toll
The evening when I finally chose to mourn you
In the same place where we touched
And you said that this love was so easy
Last stoplight before your house finally turned green
I couldn't bring myself to press on the gas until you screamed
That truck crushed our former favorite backseat to atoms
And, if you can walk that off like it never even happened, then
Oh, I bet it comes easy
To let me in and let me go
You're so healthy, you're so whole
Oh, I bet it's easy
Took a while, it took a toll
The evening when I finally chose to mourn you
In the same place where we touched
And you said that this love was so easy
