Easily
Easily Lost in Love's Departure
Lyrics
Driving 'round in the middle seat starin' out the window
Reflecting on experiences while driving in the middle seat, gazing out the window.
Trying not to memorize
Attempting not to commit details to memory.
Your smile, your lips, your kiss
Referring to the smile, lips, and kiss, which disappear too quickly.
'Cause they're always gone too soon
Expressing the fleeting nature of cherished moments.
Every memory of midnight
Recalling memories, particularly those from midnight.
Laughing with your blue eyes staring' back
Revisiting moments of laughter with someone with captivating blue eyes.
Making me feel like I'm the only girl you'd ever love
Feeling special, as if being the only love interest.
There's no way she could give you
Asserting that another person cannot provide what the speaker and the person share.
What we have, we always go back
Highlighting a pattern of returning to each other.
Can't find a way to stay away
Struggling to avoid separation.
We've crashed and burned, and now it's your turn
Having experienced difficulties and now observing the other's turn to face challenges.
To be the one who walks away so
Addressing the impending departure of the other person.
Easily, it's usually me who calls it quits, leaves in a split
Describing the difficulty in ending relationships, typically initiated by the speaker.
Before my heart can break but now it's
Noting a change where the other person is now the one leaving abruptly.
You, who holds the cards, scarring my heart
Pointing out the impact of the other person's actions on the speaker's emotions.
And all that I can do is wish that you could stay the way you leave so easily
Expressing a desire for the other person to remain consistent in their departure.
Oh it's so easy
Reiterating the ease with which the other person leaves.
I remember back in mid-May, mid-day, front porch sittin'
Recalling a specific moment in mid-May on a porch.
Reading, laughing as you kissed my head and smiled
Describing a happy time with shared laughter and affection.
I thought things couldn't get better
Initially feeling that things couldn't be better.
But all it took for you to leave was one week
Realizing that the other person left after just one week.
Tore my heart in pieces left me sitting glueless, clueless
Expressing the pain of heartbreak and confusion following the sudden departure.
Wishing I could find a way to make you stay and
Expressing a wish for the other person to stay and undo the damage.
Turn back time undo your crime, can't find a trace of evidence
Yearning to reverse time and erase the negative impact of the departure.
Of what we were, and now I'm sure it's so she'll never know you leave so
Confirming the absence of any evidence of the past relationship.
Easily, it's usually me who calls it quits, leaves in a split
Repeating the theme of the difficulty in ending relationships, but now it's the other person.
Before my heart can break but now it's
Highlighting the emotional impact on the speaker due to the other person's departure.
You, who holds the cards, scarring my heart
Emphasizing the power dynamics where the other person holds control over the speaker's emotions.
And all that I can do is wish that you could stay the way you leave so easily
Expressing a wish for the other person to stay consistently.
Oh it's so easy
Reiterating the ease with which the other person leaves.
And I wish that I could've warned myself of all you'd steal from me
Expressing a desire to have been warned about the emotional toll of the relationship.
'Cause then maybe I could stop myself from loving you
Contemplating whether prior knowledge could have prevented falling in love.
But even then, I don't know if I could so
Acknowledging uncertainty about resisting love even with prior warning.
Easily, it's usually me who calls it quits, leaves in a split
Repeating the theme of the difficulty in ending relationships, but now it's the other person.
Before my heart can break but now it's
Reflecting on the change where the other person is now the one leaving abruptly.
You, who holds the cards, scarring my heart
Reiterating the emotional impact of the other person's departure on the speaker.
And all that I can do is wish that you could stay the way you leave so easily
Expressing a wish for the other person to stay consistently.
Oh it's so easy
Reiterating the ease with which the other person leaves.
Drivin' round in the middle seat staring out the window
Recalling the initial scene of driving in the middle seat and trying not to memorize.
Trying not to memorize your smile, your lips, your kiss
Repeating the sentiments about the ephemeral nature of the other person's features.
'Cause they're always gone too soon
Reiterating the quick disappearance of cherished aspects of the relationship.
