Easy
Jess Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Let's get back in the light
I've grown tired of the fight
We're both trying to be right
It's no wonder why we're here
In this place, throwing words
Speaking lines that we've rehearsed
Down a road we can't reverse
Why don't we lay our weapons down Find common ground?
Take it easy on me
I'll take it easy on you
And we will find our way through
If you take it easy on me
I'll take it easy on you
Take it easy on me
I'll take it easy on you
Can't get back all the time
We spent crossing every line
We might not see eye to eye
I swear I am on your side
And if you feel it too
Let's start building something new
Darlin' we can make it through
Take it easy on me
I'll take it easy on you
And we will find our way through
If you take it easy on me
I'll take it easy on you
Take it easy on me
I'll take it easy on you
Why don't we lay our weapons down
Unbuild our walls, find common ground
I'm standing here, I'm showing up, I'm reaching out
Take it easy on me
I'll take it easy on you
And we will find our way through
Take it easy on me
I'll take it easy on you
And we will find our way through
If you take it easy on me
I'll take it easy on you
Take it easy on me
I'll take it easy on you
Take it easy on me
I'll take it easy on you
