Let Me Down Easy Songtext
von Gang of Youths

You want someone who wants you for who you are
I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonigh

Honey, it′s no secret that with matters of the heart
I'm reserved, I′m irrational and rarely ever start
Since the world's dark and often inhumane
We relish our condition, come drinking in the rain
'Cause you remember when, after Paris
We all decided the best way to fight it was
Drink wine, dance, heal and pray
And make love that lasts with a vengeance
So you can join the cowards all aboard the outrage train
You can stay afraid, or slit the throat of fear and be brave
And scratch a little itch ′til you′re moving like a motherfucker
Up in this bitch


You wanted to fight for a cause?
Then go out and fall in love
Don't stop, don′t stop believing
In truth, in grace, and in grieving
You want someone to want you for who you are
I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight

So leave me and tell me what I already know
That I trialled and I failed and it's good to let it go
Sometimes life sucks, everything is lame
Not everything′s as easy as making lemonade
And so dismembering our state of balance
With lust requited, a gaze undivided
With a cool mind, warmth in your face
A good heart, grace under pressure
Give me a good reason to be heartsick again
To be here, to be strong, to be oddly and boldly estranged
From a loss of better years
I found myself descending into tedium and fear

You wanted to fight for a cause?
Then go out and fall in love
Don't stop, don′t stop believing
In truth, grace, and the grieving
You want someone to want you for who you are
I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight


If it's late, you're drunk, and you want
A reason, some reason to live
I always, I always say
Just put on some Whitesnake

Honey, it′s no secret that I′ve been losing my way
In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways
But hey, I'm still young, it′s gonna be 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 spent with you
There's cool lights, there′s 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 take a bow on the street

You wanted to fight for a cause?
Then go out and love someone
Don′t stop, don't stop believing
In truth, personal feeling
I want someone to want me for who I am
I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
