Take it Easy (Love Nothing)

Bright Eyes

    Continues after the ad

    First with your hands, 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 refines
    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 is clear and blue as far as I can see

    Left by the lamp, right next to the bed
    On a cartoon cat pad you scratched with a pen
    "Everything is as it has always been
    This never happened"

    "Don't take it so bad, it is nothing you did
    It is 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, because something frightened me
    And since then I've been so good at vanishing

    Now I do as I please, and I 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 will try and be kind when I ask you to leave
    We will 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 bug me
