The Easy Way Songtext / Lyric


Dar Williams - The Easy Way Songtext


I knew a guy, I thought he was my first love

But he had to decide between me and the one before

And she stacked it all up, like a house of cards

Said if he didn't come back, he'd find her flattened on the floor



And though I went and lived in my own hell

Thought that I could die as well

I let him go where he thought he had to go



? Cause I never took heavy words for granted

And I never took undeserved advantage

No, I never took the easy way

So why don't you take it a little easy on me now?



Out on the road, I had so many questions

I thought I would explode just for some attention

Like an acolyte, I saw the flames of towering tapers

Almost proselytized by those gleaming piles of paper



Yeah, I watched the power huddles

And their coats draped over puddles

And their trust me, baby, I'm the one you need






But I never took heavy words for granted

And I never took undeserved advantage

No, I never took the easy way

So why don't you take it a little easy on me now?



? Cause we don't want to be the ones

To lie and cheat and slander

So we hold each other up to the higher standard

But I'll tell you what, I'll never try to make it hard

? Cause when you're hard just to be hard

The only thing that's hard is you



So here's what I took, I kept the wine and laughter

Until every path just grew up and ever after

Through the peaks and twisty canyons

I made many great companions

Best of all is the one who loves me like you do



? Cause I never took heavy words for granted

And I never took undeserved advantage

No, I never took the easy way

So why don't you take it a little easy on me now?



? Cause I never took heavy words for granted

And it's much too late to even want the shortcut

Yeah, I never took the easy way

So you can take it a little easy on me now

? Cause we know that easy's never easy anyhow
