Easy Come, Easy Go
Embracing Change: Finding Peace Beyond Heartbreak
Lyrics
Ghost in my closet and under my bed
Addressing lingering fears and insecurities represented by a ghost in the closet and under the bed.
Things that a child lets go on in her head
Reflecting on childhood imagination and the thoughts that a child allows to occupy their mind.
But I'm not a child anymore
Acknowledging personal growth and the transition from childhood to adulthood.
My first real heartbreak I was undone
Recalling the first experience of heartbreak and feeling emotionally shattered.
Sworn that I'd given up on love
Expressing a past decision to give up on love after the heartbreak.
But I'm not afraid, anymore
Emphasizing the newfound courage and lack of fear in the present.
And I would look back on our story
Looking back on a past relationship but acknowledging it as a closed chapter.
But that chapters gone
Confirming the closure of a specific chapter in the speaker's life.
And like raindrops off my back
Using raindrops as a metaphor for letting go of memories easily.
I can let your memories roll
Highlighting the ability to let go of memories effortlessly.
Easy come easy go
Summarizing the theme of impermanence and the ease with which things come and go.
Yesterday morning I drove by your place
Describing a moment of driving past the ex-partner's place in the morning.
Reach for my cheek no tears on my face
Noticing a lack of tears on the speaker's face, indicating emotional healing.
'Cause I'm not that girl anymore
Affirming personal growth by stating that the speaker is no longer the same person.
And I look back on our story
Reflecting again on the past relationship as a closed chapter.
But that chapters gone
Reiterating the finality of the past relationship.
Like raindrops off my back
Comparing memories to raindrops falling off, indicating the ease of letting go.
I can let your memories roll
Reiterating the ability to let go of memories effortlessly.
Easy come easy go
Repeating the theme of the transience of emotions and experiences.
Easy go
Reiterating the idea of ease in letting go.
To the place of peace that I have come to know
Referring to a place of peace that the speaker has found in the process of moving on.
Once all my dreams were tied up in you
Recalling a time when the speaker's dreams were closely tied to the ex-partner.
And I walked up in fear that you would not come true
Expressing fear of dreams not coming true but indicating overcoming that fear.
But I'm not afraid anymore
Affirming the lack of fear in the present moment.
And I can look back on our stories
Looking back on the past stories without emotional attachment.
But that chapters gone
Reiterating the closure of the chapter in the speaker's life.
And like raindrops on my back I can let your memories roll
Using raindrops metaphorically to represent the ease of letting go of memories.
Easy come, easy go
Concluding with the phrase "Easy come, easy go," encapsulating the theme of impermanence.
