Easier by Now

Never thought I’d have to start again Never thought I’d lose my closest friend But you know what they say about God and plans I try to hide it when I’m feeling blue And I try to dumb down what I’m going through Out of fear that no one’s gonna understand I thought it’d be easier by now Living without you Joe and Emily are moving west It won’t be long before I lose the rest And I know there’s so many places I could go Maybe I should buy a house upstate Learn to garden and communicate And only live off what I grow I thought it’d be easier by now Living without you When all the dust has finally blown away And I learn to live with what I didn’t say Maybe I can read that sign out in the stars And see that all the love I’ve ever fallen in Is part of some bigger picture that I’m standing in And I’ll swear “I never thought I’d come this far” I thought it’d be easier by now Just thought it’d be easier by now Living without you Without you Without you
