I've got most of it...anybody want to chime in?



The Easy Way



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 it 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



'Cuz I never took heavy words for granted

And I never took the 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 found the flames of towering tapers

And was proselytized by the __________ gleaming papers

Yeah I watched their power huddles and their coats draped over puddles

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



And I never took heavy words for granted

And I never took the undeserved advantage

No I never took the easy way

So you can take it a little easy on me now



'Cuz we don't want to be the ones who 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

'Cuz 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 in every after

Yeah through the peaks and twisty canyons

I made many great companions

Best of all's the one that loves me like you do



'Cuz I never took heavy words for granted

And I never took the undeserved advantage

No I never took the easy way

So you can take a little easy on me now



I never took heavy words for granted

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

No I never took the easy way

So you can take it a little easy on me now



'Cuz you know that easy's never easy anyhow
