| I know the hum of your voice should be the sweetest sound |
| But I could never really get your feet up off the ground |
| Is it ever gonna be easy |
| Try so hard, please release me |
| You got the softest lips but the sharpest mouth |
| Always ready with a hundred different ways to cut me down |
| Get my back on straight, keep my feet faced forward |
| Stick my hands up high |
| Let the light give way on the hardest day |
| Then I hear you say… |
| Is it ever gonna be easy |
| Try so hard, please release me |
| Try to reach for your hand, but there’s no colder touch |
| Try to be a better man, but I don’t try all that much |
| Is it ever gonna be easy |
| Is it ever gonna be easy |
| Is it ever gonna be easy |
| Please release me |
| Try to say the things that I said before |
| That would make you smile |
| But the language, babe, that we used to speak |
| Has been dead a while |
| Is it ever gonna be easy |
| Is it ever gonna be easy |
| Is it ever gonna be easy |
| Is it ever gonna be easy |
