Easier

I was eighteen, so were you

I was that Birkenstock geek rock dude

You were the backflip, doe hide

Tree climbing, Earth mama

Beautiful evergreen girl

I never thought that I could be

Getting my gray hair with you beside me

And there's something I'm blind to that you still see

And it couldn't be better I know

It shouldn't be easier, oh

I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall

I wanna be the toy in your cereal box

I wanna be Carter at your peace talks

I wanna get almost too familiar

But still notice the way that you walk

And if you said you were going away

I'd run on the tarmac

And I would lay down in front of the plane

Just to get you to stay

'Cause it couldn't be better I know

It shouldn't be easier, oh

I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall

Got everything I ever wanted here

Everything and then this constant fear

That I'm sure gonna lose it all

Just waiting for the other boot to fall

If you thought I could be replaced

I wouldn't just stop with an ear

I would cut off my whole freaking face

Just to make my point clear

That it couldn't be better I know

It shouldn't be easier, oh

I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall

And I'm waiting for the other boot to fall
