Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me time to think
Time goes tic toc tic ticking on by
I'll still be near
So what are you rushing for
Ask me 20 times I still don't know
So settle down simmer down hit the ground
Rock a bye baby don't say a word
Nobody knows haven't you heard
So won't you give me some time time
Won't you give me some time time
Won't you give me some time time
Give me some time time
3 days gone head left spinning
Try to find the answers hidden on the ceiling
You want me to say what you want to hear
I will still stay cause baby I'm right here
Feet on the ground head in the sky
Who what where when but don't ask the why
So won't you give me some time time
Won't you give me some time time
Won't you give me some time time
Give me some time time
Easy easy baby
Give me time to think
Time goes tic toc tic ticking on by
I'll still be me
So settle down simmer down hit the ground
Don't know where I'm going but I'm here now
Sit on down simmer down hit the ground
Don't know where I'm going but I'm here nowSo settle down simmer down hit the ground
Don't know where I'm going but I'm here
The song "Easy" by Bryan Greenberg talks about the need for time to think and reflect. The opening line of "Easy easy baby, give me time to think" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The repetition of "give me time" emphasizes the importance of taking a step back and slowing down in a world that often demands constant action and immediate results. The ticking of time in the background adds to the urgency of the message.
The second verse begins with "So what are you rushing for?" questioning the need to constantly be in a hurry. The line "rock a bye baby don't say a word, nobody knows haven't you heard" suggests that it is okay to not have all of the answers and to take time to figure things out. The chorus, with its repeated plea for time, reinforces the importance of slowing down and taking a moment to breathe.
The final verse talks about the struggle to find answers and the pressure to say what others want to hear. However, the singer remains grounded with "feet on the ground, head in the sky" and doesn't give in to the pressure. The song ends with the repeated refrain "I'll still be me" emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to take a step back and not get caught up in the rush of life. It promotes the idea that taking time to reflect and think is necessary for personal growth and happiness.

Easy easy baby
Take it easy, don't rush me
Give me time to think
Allow me some time to reflect
Time goes tic toc tic ticking on by
Time moves quickly and relentlessly
I'll still be near
I'll be here waiting for you
So what are you rushing for
Why are you in such a hurry?
Ask me 20 times I still don't know
I don't have an answer, no matter how many times you ask
So settle down simmer down hit the ground
Calm down, take it easy and focus on reality
Don't know where I'm going but I'm here now
I'm living in the present without worrying about the future
Rock a bye baby don't say a word
Be quiet and stay still
Nobody knows haven't you heard
No one has all the answers
So won't you give me some time time
Please allow me the time I need
3 days gone head left spinning
I'm confused and disoriented
Try to find the answers hidden on the ceiling
I'm searching for answers everywhere
You want me to say what you want to hear
You want me to agree with you
I will still stay cause baby I'm right here
I'm still here for you
Feet on the ground head in the sky
I'm grounded but still have my dreams
Who what where when but don't ask the why
I have the facts but not the reasons
