Easy Way Out (official live visuals) Songtext
von Gotye

Seventeen seconds, and I′m over it
Ready for the disconnect
Putting on a brave face, trying not to listen
To the voices in the back of my head

(But it's alright now) it′s a distant memory, baby
(It's alright now) you know you should just let it go
But some feelings have a habit of persisting
Even though you wouldn't let it show

Wearing me out (all this)
Hanging around (it just starts)
Getting me down (′till I′m just)
Looking for an easy way out


Braindead from boredom, I'm led to distraction
Scratching the surface of life
Nothing really happens, but it′s easy to keep busy
When you tell yourself you're traveling right

(But it′s alright now) was it really worth it, baby?
(It's alright now) was it just a waste of time?
Keep on second-guessing
Use my memory like a weapon on everything I try

Wearing me out (all this)
Hanging around (it just starts)
Getting me down (′till I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out

Wearing me out (it's alright now)
Hanging around (alright now)
Getting me down (it′s alright now)
Looking for an easy way out
