Take It Easy (Love Nothing) - Bright Eyes

First with your hands and then with your mouth

A downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds

I was a fool, you were my friend

We made it happen

You took off your clothes, left on the light

You stood there so brave

You used to be shy

Each feature improved, each movement refined and eyes like a showroom

Now they are spreading out the blankets on the beach

That weatherman is a liar

He said it would be raining but it’s clear and blue as far as I can see

Left by the lamp, right next to the bed

On a cartoon cat pad she scratched with a pen

«Everything is as it’s always been

This never happened

Don’t take it too bad it is nothing you did

It’s just once something dies you can’t make it live

You’re a beautiful boy

You’re a sweet little kid but I am a woman.»

So I laid back down and wrapped myself up in the sheet

And I must have looked like a ghost cause something frightened me

And since then I’ve been so good at vanishing

Now I do as I please and lie through my teeth

Someone might get hurt, but it won’t be me

I should probably feel cheap but I just feel free…

And a little bit empty

No, it isn’t so hard to get close to me

There will be no arguments

We will always agree

And I’ll try and be kind when I ask you to leave

We’ll both take it easy

But if you stay too long inside my memory

I will trap you in a song tied to a melody

And I will keep you there so you can’t bother me
