We sat around the table and drank a bottle of wine

And it poured around us like a moat till no one could get us, and I was fine

And I said, "Haven't I paid my dues by now, haven't I paid my dues by now

Haven't I paid my dues by now, don't I get the right to choose?

And I choose you to take up all of my time

I choose you because you're funny and kind

I want easy people from now on"



Chorus

Easy people

Easy people



My house is full of empty rooms and broken frames and other people's stuff

In my house we see by Christmas lights and your TV, and that seems to be enough

To see what we want to see

You let me be who I want to be

And we'll be easy from now on, from now on



Chorus



Why can't I be easy, why can't I be easy like you?



For you I would give the songs I write, the words I pray, the morning light

That pumps into this room today, if you would only rise, if you would only say

"I want you, you take up all of my time

I want you because you're funny and kind

And we'll be easy from now on, from now on"



Chorus
