"easier" lyrics

Good girls get married, and they meet your family
Eventually, that's something you said that you'd want
But we're pushing twenty, you're buried in parties
While I'm up late, worried about my next song, and

I'm settled down, done messing 'round
The lighthouse when you're lost
I understand if that's more than you want

If I could be easier
Say something slightly less meaningful
I'd spend the night, keep it casual
Give you my body without falling deeply in love
Damn, that'd be easier
Wish I was easier

I blame my mother for raising me stronger
Told me I'm better alone than to lie with somebody
Who won't say they want me
So I keep it cool when you look in my eyes

'Cause we're good together, I make you better
And we're magnets in a room
Everybody says it except you

If I could be easier
Say something slightly less meaningful
I'd spend the night, keep it casual
Give you my body without falling deeply in love
Damn, that'd be

Easier to let you go
Easier to leave the phone on silent
When you call to make sure I'm home
You know I'm home
Easier to laugh it off when you
Pick somebody else you want
And I'll pretend I'm not in love with you at all
You at all

'Cause if I'm easier
Maybe then I'd finally be your girl
But deep down, we both know that'd never work
And I know that's why you don't wanna be with me right now
'Cause I'm not easier
Easier
