The Easy Part
Navigating Love's Turbulence: The Easy Part by Steve Wallis
Lyrics
You fall asleep on your own again
You consistently find yourself falling asleep alone.
I stay up half of the night
I stay awake for a significant portion of the night.
I've lost a piece from inside of me
I've experienced a loss of something essential within me.
The joy that keeps me alight
The happiness that usually keeps me illuminated.
I feel its hole in my side
I sense a void or emptiness on my side.
Why is loving you so hard?
Expressing difficulty and challenges in the act of loving you.
Why is loving you so hard?
Reiteration of the struggle and hardship in loving you.
This should be the easy part
Contrasting the expectation that love should be the easy part.
Each day comes then it's gone again
Each day passes swiftly, and then it disappears.
I don't ever go out
I seldom go out, choosing to stay indoors.
Sit on the couch in a worn out shirt
Sitting on the couch in a well-worn shirt.
Watching reruns for hours
Engaging in the passive activity of watching reruns for extended periods.
With all my things in your house
All my belongings are present in your living space.
I try to keep it all working
Struggling to keep everything functioning or in order.
Words turn to ash in my mouth
Communication becomes difficult, with spoken words feeling empty.
A sadness is overcoming me
A feeling of melancholy is taking over me.
This fire we started is flickering out
The passion or enthusiasm we once had is fading away.
Why is loving you so hard?
Expressing the ongoing difficulty in the act of loving you.
Why is loving you so hard?
Reiteration of the continued challenge in loving you.
This should be the easy part
Highlighting the paradox that loving you should be the easy part, contrasting with the earlier struggles mentioned.
