Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You want someone to want you for who you are

I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight

[Verse 2]

Honey, it's no secret that with matters of the heart

I'm reserved, I'm irrational, and rarely ever start

But since the world's dark and often inhumane

We relish our condition, come drinkin' in the rain

'Cause you remember when, after Paris

We all decided the best way to fight it was

Drink wine, dance here, and pray

And make love that lasts with a vengeance

So you can join the cowards all aboard the outrage train

You can stay afraid, or slit the throat of fear and be brave

And scratch a little itch till you movin' like a motherfucker

Up in this bitch

[Verse 3]

You wanted to fight for a cause

Then go out and fall in love

Don't stop, don't stop believin'

In truth, in grace, and the grievance

You want someone to want you for who you are

I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight

[Verse 4]

So you look at me and tell me what I already know

That I trialed and I failed and it's good to let it go

And sometimes life sucks, everything is lame

Not everything's as easy as makin' lemonade

And so dismemberin' our state of balance

With lust requited, a gaze undivided

With a cool mind, a warmth in your face

A good heart, a grace under pressure

You give me a good reason now to be heartsick again

To be here, to be strong, to be oddly and boldly

Estranged from a loss of better years

I found myself descending into tedium and fear

[Verse 5]

You wanted to fight for a cause

Then go out and fall in love

Don't stop, don't stop believin'

In truth, in grace, and the grievance

You want someone to want you for who you are

I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight

[Verse 6]

If it's late, you're drunk, and want a

A reason, a some reason to live

I always, I always say

Just put on some Whitesnake

[Verse 7]

Honey, it's no secret that I've been losin' my way

In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways

But, hey, I'm still young, and it's gonna be okay

'Cause I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade

I'll surrender then, all my balance

And be excited and drink to tonight

It's not a bad time, time spent with you

There's cool lights and the songs with great lyrics

We never have to talk again, whatever, up to you

But since you're puttin' with me

Here's another toast just to you

Let's dance off the beat

Then mosey out together and say goodbye on the strip

[Verse 8]

You wanted to fight for a cause

Then go out and love someone

Don't stop, don't stop believin'

In truth and personal freedom

You want someone to want you for who you are

I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight

[Verse 9]

Easy, easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight

[Verse 10]

I'm Dave from Gang of Youths, hi, Melbourne
