It Would Have Been so Easy

I was driving back and forth along the freeway Just wasting time with you To the coast and back again to pass the whole day With nothing else to do While all the walls between us were destroyed And it would have been so easy to avoid You said you left a place where nothing happened And no one gave a damn And so you couldn't stay and won't go back where You'll find another man Like the one who dragged you down into the void And it would have been so easy to avoid So keep me in your mind but not in your heart And I won't let you down Nobody ever gets to have a clean start You ought to know by now Though all your power of thinking has been employed And it would have been so easy to avoid It would have been so easy to avoid
