Easy
Don’t make this easy,
Don’t make this easy or I’m gunna run.
Just turn your heart to stone and hold your own, honey we’ll be fine,
I’ll do all I can to be around for you, oh yes I will.
Don’t make this easy,
Don’t make this easy or I’m gunna run.
Just let me be the one who told you wrong, but don’t you let it slide.
Wonder if I’ll be true or if I’ll come through for you, oh yes I will.
Don’t tell me what you want, don’t fall in love, don’t be my friend.
Give in to your hope and I’ll watch you choke on it, oh yes I will.

In the middle of the orchard,
there’s a Baobab tree.
And sometimes when I get nervous,
I crawl up there and fall asleep.
You oughta come sometime,
You can tell me all your other lover’s secrets.
And in the cool, clean light,
You can have it all with nothing in between us.
Now I’m waiting for a winter,
So I can hope that you feel warm when you see me.
And I wish you were a bird,
That followed me everywhere by shoulder.
When I said I’d be alright,
What I meant was, I’ll try.
And I need no excuse,
To take flight from my handle.
Honey it’s you,
Tell me to walk away.
Now I’ve got hang ups,
From which I might have no chance of coming down.
It ain’t me, no,
You’ve been labouring under a misapprehension.
Hold on
I am gonna figure it out

Down
Blessed is the man who puts his hand to the plow and does not look back.
Well fuck him, he’s braver than me and I don’t have much to say for myself anymore,
It’s mostly come kiss me I’m drunk, and quit calling I’m busy. It’s mostly give it up now child.
And she’s still hangin’ around like a faith I’ve renounced.
Or a clear blue day when my thoughts are away and all of my fears are on trial,
Screamin’
Just keep moving, you’ve gotta find someplace to level out.
I’ve done enough now, no, this is still mine, I’ve considered all this,
I’m all the way down.
I feel fine, I swear I’m fine.
This is so bad, this is so, so bad.
I can’t help feeling like I should be walking away,
Singin’ daylight’s come and I don’t wanna go home.
Just keep moving, you’ve gotta find someplace to level out.
I’ve done enough now, no, this is still mine, I’ve considered all this,
I’m all the way down.
