You want someone who wants you for who you are, I want someone to try
Then let me down easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight
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
Relish our condition and come drinking 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 the little itch 'til you're
Moving like a motherfucker up in this bitch
You wanted to fight for a cause, then go out and fall in love
Don't stop, don't stop believing in truth and grace in the grievance
You want someone who wants you for who you are, I want someone to try
Let me down easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight
So look at me and tell me what I already know
That I tried and I failed and it's good to let it go
Sometimes life sucks, everything is lame
Not everything's as easy as making lemonade
And so, dismembering our state of balance with lust requited
A gaze undivided, a cool mind, warmth in your face
A good heart, grace under pressure
You gave me a good reason to be heartsy again
To be here, to be strong, to be oddly and boldly estranged
From the loss and bitter years
I found myself descending into tedium and fear
You wanted to fight for a cause, then go out and fall in love
Don't stop, don't stop believing in truth and grace in the grievance
You want someone who wants you for who you are, I want someone to try
Let me down easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight
It isn't late, you're drunk and wanting a reason
I'll give you the reason to live, I always, always say
Just put on some Red Skates
Honey, it's no secret I'm losing my way
In the weirdest of moments in the stupidest of ways
But hey, I'm still young and it's gonna be okay
I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade
I'll surrender then all my balance and be your pageant freak tonight
It's not a bad time, time spent with you
Just cool likes and songs with good lyrics
We never have to talk again, whatever, up to you
But since you're putting up with me, here's another toast to you
Let's dance on the beat, moving together, so you go and retreat
You wanted to fight for a cause, then go out and fall in love
Don't stop, don't stop believing in truth and grace in the grievance
You want someone who wants you for who you are, I want someone to try
Let me down easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight
