Anything But Easy

I think you think you like me  ‘cuz you ain’t seen nothin like me 

ever in your life before 

But gener'ly when folks 

get a look real close 

"hell yeah" turns to "nope"  

and I don’t see them anymore 

So trust your intuition 

‘cuz if you think that something’s fishy

those aren’t signals to ignore 

I always need exceptions 

and you’ll never catch your breath, and 

you’ll constantly be guessing  

what version of me is at the door 

Easy

I'm anything but easy

I’m sweet and sour and streaky 

I'm anything but easy 

I truly think you’re lovely 

sent by someone high above me

to make me better than I ever was before 

You make me grow and rise 

and you push me to be wise 

so every day I try  

and I fall a little short 

so I try a little more

but how much time can you afford? 

Easy

I'm anything but easy

I’m sweet and sour and streaky 

I'm anything but easy

You might miss it

but it's no picnic

always livin' on the edge…

Get a car to get away

and you might leave today

Easy

I'm anything but easy

a dirty sonnet in grafitti 

freezing cold and then I’m steaming

and my seasons all change weekly 

I'm anything but easy

I'm anything but easy

anything but easy
