Don't Go Easy
Love's Journey: Navigating Life's Twists with Jill Barber
Lyrics
You're a hard act to follow, heaven knows
You are exceptionally impressive, and it's challenging for anyone to follow your example or actions.
And I wouldn't have it any other way
The speaker prefers and appreciates the difficulty posed by the person they're addressing.
And with the weight of the moment upon your back
The weight or importance of the present situation is resting on your shoulders.
And me hangin' on to every word you say
The speaker is deeply attentive and hanging onto every word you say.
This lonely heart was callin'
The speaker's heart was longing or in need of something.
And strung out on the line
The speaker felt emotionally stretched or strained.
So you took yours and put it next to mine
You offered your support or love and aligned it with the speaker's.
And in the heat of the moment
In the intense moment, the speaker became frozen or unable to act.
I just froze
Since being romantically involved, the speaker has been consistently kept on edge or surprised by you.
Ever since you swept me off my feet you've kept me on my toes
Eventually, the path the speaker is on will become impassable or difficult to follow.
'Cause before too long
The journey or direction the speaker is taking will soon become too challenging to continue.
This path I tread
The forthcoming path may be considerably further along or different from the current journey.
Will be too overgrown for followin'
It's uncertain if the future path will align with the one the speaker has been following.
And will the road ahead
You're advised to remain consistent and honest despite uncertainties about the future.
Be much further on
There's an unknown distance or progress to be made ahead from the speaker's current journey.
From the one I've been long travellin'
The speaker has been on a lengthy and enduring journey.
But you just keep it steady
Continue to maintain stability and truthfulness in your actions or words.
And call it like you see
Be truthful in your perceptions or judgments of the situation.
But baby don't go easy on me
The person is requested not to go easy or be lenient with the speaker.
'Cause what we have comin'
The outcome or future is uncertain or unknown.
Only heaven knows
Only the divine or fate knows what lies ahead.
Ever since you swept me off my feet you've kept me on my toes
Since being romantically involved, the speaker has been consistently kept on edge or surprised by you.
But you just keep it steady
Reinforces the idea of maintaining consistency and truthfulness.
And call it like you see
Reiterates the importance of honest perception or judgment.
But baby don't go easy on me
The person is requested not to treat the speaker gently or leniently.
'Cause what we have comin'
The outcome or future is uncertain or unknown.
Only heaven knows
Only the divine or fate knows what lies ahead.
Ever since you swept me off my feet you've kept me on my toes
Reiteration of the impact of being kept on one's toes since being swept off their feet.
Ever since you swept me off my feet you've kept me on my toes
