Easy Street

Some meditation teacher said

"Close your eyes and send some light"

So I sent you what's left of mine

Inside my mind

When I let you call me your baby

We were both lying

Make-believe, I wasn't the one taking care of you

When I was the only one who was trying to

When I stop to think about us getting high, hanging out

I can convince myself loving you wasn't hell

And I should wait around for us to grow up

And out of all our history, then we could finally

Stop to think about the words that come out our mouth

Before the profanity, oh, what a fantasy

You and me, living on easy street

M-I-A, Sacramento to OC

I don't like flying, but I loved how you'd hold me

So I followed your laugh anywhere

Now your laugh follows me everywhere

When I stop to think about us getting high, hanging out

I can convince myself loving you wasn't hell

And I should wait around for us to grow up

And out of all our history, then we could finally

Stop to think about the words that come out our mouth

Before the profanity, oh, what a fantasy

You and me, living on easy street

Is it your turn or mine to over-romanticize

What's average at best in the perfect light?

"You're my little evil twin"

"I will never love again"

You say, "Come back to me, I need you under my skin"

Is it your turn or mine to kneel by the bedside

And beg forgiveness for sins we didn't commit?

"Sorry" is our sacred prayer

We are going nowhere

Over and over and over and over again

When I'm caught up thinking 'bout us getting high, hanging out

I remind myself, loving you was hell, and

I gotta wait around for me to grow up

And out of my insecurity, find a new fantasy

You and me won't make it to easy street

You and me won't make it to easy street
