[Intro]
[Chorus]
You want someo
ne who wants y
ou for who you
are
I want someone
to try and le
t me down easy
, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
[Verse 1]
Honey, it's no
secret that w
ith matters of
the heart
Unreserved, I'm irrational and rarely ever star
But since the
world's dark a
nd often inhum
ane
We relish our condition, come drinking in the rain
Cause do you r
emember when,
after Paris
We all decided the best way to fight it was
Drink wine, da
nce, heal and
pray
And make love that lasts with a vengeance
So you can joi
n the cowards
all aboard the
outrage train
You can stay a
fraid, or slit
the throat of
fear and be b
rave
And scratch a little itch 'til you're moving like a motherfucker
Up in this bitch
[Chorus]
You wanted to
fight for a ca
use?
Then go out and fall in love
Don't stop, do
n't stop belie
ving
In truth, and grace in the grievance
You want someo
ne to want you
for who you a
re
I want someone
to try or let
me down easy,
easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
[Verse 2]
So look at me
and tell me wh
at I already k
now
That I trialled and I failed and it's good to let it go
And sometimes
life sucks and
everything is
lame
Not everything's as easy as making lemonade
And so dismemb
ering our stat
e of balance
With lust requited, a gaze undivided
With a cool mi
nd, warmth in
your face
A good heart, grace under pressure
Give me a good
reason to be
heartsick agai
n
To be here, to
be strong, to
be oddly and
boldly estrang
ed
From a loss and bitter years
I found myself descending into tedium and fear
[Chorus]
You wanted to
fight for a ca
use?
Then go out and fall in love
Don't stop, do
n't stop belie
ving
In truth and grace in the grievance
You want someo
ne to want you
for who you a
re
I want someone
to try or let
me down easy,
easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
[Instrumental]
(x2)
[Bridge]
If it's late,
you're drunk a
nd wanting
A reason, some
reason to liv
e
I always, I al
ways say
Just put on so
me Whitesnake
[Verse 3]
Honey, it's no
secret that I
've been losin
g my way
In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways
But hey, I'm s
till young, an
d it's gonna b
e okay
I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade
I'll surrender
then, all my
balance
And be excited and drink to tonight
It's not a bad
time, time sp
ent with you
There's cool lights, and songs with good lyrics
We never have
to talk again,
whatever, up
to you
But since you're putting up with me
Here's another
toast just to
you
Let's dance off the beat
Then mosey out together and say goodbye on the street
[Chorus]
You wanted to
fight for a ca
use?
Then go out and love someone
Don't stop, do
n't stop belie
ving
In truth and personal freedom
I want someone
to want me fo
r who I am
I want someone
to try or let
me down easy,
easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
[Outro]
Easy, easy ton
ight
Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy ton
ight
Easy, easy tonight
