Easy
Unveiling the Dance of Love: Tracey Thorn's 'Easy' Reflections
Lyrics
I watch the way the light
Observing the way light illuminates the surroundings.
Falls across the street
Noticing how light falls on the street.
I watch the way you blink
Observing the subtle gestures, such as blinking, before you speak.
Just before you speak
Expressing affection for the way someone breathes.
I love the way you breathe
Anticipating a future moment of sadness when the person leaves.
I'll hate the day you'll leave
Reflecting on the ease with which one forgets the early stages of a relationship.
It's easy to forget
Highlighting the simplicity of overlooking the fact that the relationship is still in its initial phase.
We haven't even started anyway
Emphasizing that the journey has just begun despite any challenges.
Sometimes love is a mistake
Acknowledging that love can sometimes be a mistake.
An easy one to make
Describing love as an easily made mistake.
And if there's any doubt
Suggesting that uncertainty may indicate it's better to be without love.
You're better off without
Encouraging the idea of being better off without doubt in love.
I watch as you sit
Observing someone sitting, perhaps contemplatively.
Staring at your screen
Noticing someone focused on a screen.
I think that I could fit
Suggesting the possibility of fitting into the spaces in someone's life.
This places in between
Highlighting the ease of navigating challenges in the relationship.
It's easy when we try
Emphasizing the need for reminders to keep trying in relationships.
We need reminding why
Stating the importance of remembering why efforts are made in relationships.
We try, when we try
Reflecting on the act of trying and questioning the intention behind it.
Do we just intend to try?
Raising the question of whether the intention to try is genuine.
And that's broken and sad
Describing the relationship as fractured and sorrowful.
Still the only thing we have
Acknowledging that despite its broken state, the relationship is the only meaningful thing.
And I'll be waiting here
Expressing a commitment to wait for a better solution or idea.
'til someone has a better idea
Anticipating a future improvement or resolution.
Something that could make it easy
Expressing the hope for something that could simplify the complexities of the relationship.
