Easy to Love
Cecilia Dale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'm just
Wasting
Precious time
In thinking such
A thing could be
That you
Could ever
I'm sure
You hate to hear
That I
Adore you, dear
But grant me
Just the same
I'm not entirely
To blame
For love
You'd be
So easy to love
So easy
To idolize
All others above
So worth
The yearning for
So swell to keep
Every homefire
Burning for
We'd be
So grand
At the game
So carefree
Together
That it does
Seem a shame
That you
Can't see
Your future
With me
'Cause you'd be
Oh
So easy to love
In these lyrics, the singer acknowledges that they've been wasting precious time fantasizing about someone who could never possibly care for them. The person they're singing to is aware of the singer's feelings but is clearly not interested. The singer pleads with them to grant them some kind of acknowledgment or understanding, but they know that their love is unrequited.
Despite this knowledge, the singer idealizes the object of their affection, saying that they would be so easy to love and idolize. They believe that their relationship would be grand and carefree, and they lament that this person can't see their future with the singer. However, the song ends on a wistful note, as the singer sings "Oh, so easy to love," implying that they know that they will never be with the person they desire.
Overall, these lyrics showcase the pain and longing that can come with unrequited love. The singer knows that they can never be with the person they want, but they still hold onto hope and idealize them in their mind.
