You want someone who wants you for who you are I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonigh Honey, it's no secret that with matters of the heart I'm reserved, I'm irrational and rarely ever start Since the world's dark and often inhumane We relish our condition, come drinking in the rain 'Cause you remember when, after Paris We all decided the best way to fight it was Drink wine, dance, heal 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 '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, in grace, and in grieving 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 So leave me and tell me what I already know That I trialled 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 With a cool mind, warmth in your face A good heart, grace under pressure Give me a good reason 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 You wanted to fight for a cause? Then go out and fall in love Don't stop, don't stop believing In truth, grace, and the grieving 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 If it's late, you're drunk, and you want A reason, some reason to live I always, I always say Just put on some Whitesnake Honey, it's no secret that I've been losing my way In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways But hey, I'm still young, it's gonna be okay 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, there's 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 just to you Let's dance off the beat Then mosey out together and take a bow on the street You wanted to fight for a cause? Then go out and love someone Don't stop, don't stop believing In truth, personal feeling I want someone to want me for who I am I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight
