EASY
| 2008
i suppose it's easy to pick up the guitar and write
when you've got nothing better to do
when your mind isn't numb from the cruft of the day
and your spirit's barely pulling you through
i suppose it's easy to think of a million new lines
when you're idly spending your time
when your brain isn't focused on every day
that the sun didn't shine
you've convinced yourself your voice seems stronger
when you're alone
so, if you want a competition, go on, baby
run until your heart's content
i'd be a happy runner-up in any race you gave me
if my body wasn't so damn spent
i could sleep for damn near sixteen hours
and still not catch up for the week
i wouldn't be so damn surprised at what's behind the curtain
if i was smart enough to peek
you've convinced yourself your voice is stronger
when you're alone
