Let Us Down Easy

[Verse 1]

In all my life mercy

Hasn't known my name this well

Like how every sea filters out

And leads us gently to a creek

We sit around

Some of us are strong

But the rest of us are weak

[Chorus]

So let us down if you must

But let us down easy, Lord

Let us down easy, Lord

Ooh, let us down

[Verse 2]

In patches of pink clouds, thick smoke

It comes rising off them hillside slopes

Down here in this neighborhood

It's the dumps with cars iced up

Perfect for writing on if you're wearing gloves

Every season I spend alone

Feels like a thousand

To my heart and in my soul

[Chorus]

So let me down if you must

But let us down easy, Lord

Let us down easy, Lord

Ooh, let us down

Let us down, let us down, let us down

Let us down, let us down, let us down

[Verse 3]

Instead of praying I tell God these jokes

He must be tired of himself so much

He must be more than disappointed

Christmas comes, we eat alone

And pretty girls around some pretty thought

Who takes your order, she yells it

And she cries alone in the back room

Once it stops then she smiles

[Chorus]

So let her down if you must

But let us down easy, Lord

Let us down easy, Lord

Let us down easy, Lord

Ooh, let us down

(Let us down, let us down, let us down)

Let us down easy, Lord

(Let us down, let us down, let us down)

Let us down

(Let us down, let us down, let us down)

Let us down easy, Lord

(Let us down, let us down, let us down)

[Outro]

Let us down, let us down, let us down easy

Let us down, let us down, let us down easy

Let us down, let us down, let us down easy

Let us down, let us down, let us down easy

Let us down, let us down, let us down easy

Let us down, let us down, let us down easy

Let us down, let us down, let us down easy

Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
