Easier Days
Easier days
When I could say the words I needed to say
Laugh at a joke or two and that would be okay
I really miss easier days
With telephone lines hogging up the line
When the towns were just a couple miles wide
Paper letters from a friend that moved away
We hopscotch through the town met trouble on the way
I miss those easier days
The kids lit up the town with all that running around
We dangle in the sea with bridges underneath
Easier days
When I could say the words I needed to say
Laugh at a joke or two and that would be okay
I really miss easier days
Telephone lines hogging up the line
When the towns were just a couple miles wide
Cemented names on floors that we were here and when
The train got in the way I'm late to school again
I miss those easier days
The kids lit up the town with all that running around
We dangle in the sea with bridges underneath
I was a child spinning merry go rounds (round and round)
I met my best friend there
I wanna go back (please turn the clock)
Do you wanna go back (lets turn the clock)
I wanna go back (and break the clock)
Easier days
When I could say the words I needed to say
Laugh at a joke or two and that would be okay
I really miss those easier days
Easier days
Easier days

Just A Kid Then
Heroes don't come
Mama is making ugly
And daddy ain't coming home
I wait alone and
I was just a kid then
And something I didn't know then
Was how much I would need a friend
And I wait
For broken promises made
I don't need them
Heroes don't come
Mama is making ugly
And daddy ain't coming home
I wait by the phone
Maybe you'll call us on the weekend
And now that you're growing older
You call me when you need a hand
And I wait
For broken promises made
Yeah I don't need them
Heroes don't come
Mama is making ugly
And daddy ain't coming home
Oh and did you feel
That we were some
Disappointments in the way
Cause it sure felt that way
What did you think that it
Was alright to take love and leave us
At first light that ain't right
So stop for a minute
Hold on to the things you say
And that you'll see them through
And maybe I would be
Just a little more happy
Just a little less crazy
Just a little more happy
Just a little less me
I wait alone and
I was just a kid then

You Got Easily
You got me easily
You drop the top down say you’ll go away with me
I’m living in a sin
The world don’t stop only to begin again
You turn on a light for me
The world is nothing when I got you sitting next to me
And all those words they say
I don’t hear nothing when I got you standing in their way
Although I’m a mess
I hope you understand
Would you like to change me, rearrange me
I don’t know why
My mind goes away sometimes
I got no reason why
You seem to hold on to this life
As I (we - 2nd time around) float on by
Above lyrics - 2x
Cause there’s no easy love
Cause there’s no easy love
