Church Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm still waiting for your call
But it never, it never comes
Do you ever think of me?
Can you hear my empty plea
For your love and affection?
I'll never know, I'll never know
It's what you do and not what you say
That keeps you one step away
Am I that easy to forget?
If only you'd make one sacrifice
Do what it takes to make it alright
Am I that easy to forget?
I'm standing in the bitter cold
Wish that you were here to hold
'Cause I miss you, the way you used to be
Am I in this love alone?
When I speak, the words just fall
And you listen but not to me
I'll never know, I'll never know
Why I can't let go?
It's what you do and not what you say
That keeps you one step away
Am I that easy to forget?
If only you'd make one sacrifice
Do what it takes to make it alright
Am I that easy to forget?
I'll never know, I'll never know
Why I can't let go?
It's what you do and not what you say
(Not what you say)
That keeps you one step away
Am I that easy to forget?
If only you'd make one sacrifice
(One sacrifice)
Do what it takes to make it alright
Am I that easy to forget?
Am I that easy to forget?
Am I that easy to forget?
The Church’s song “Easy” delves into themes of unrequited love, rejection and the feeling of being easily forgotten. The song is about a person waiting for a phone call from someone they love and wondering why they haven’t received it. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation, with the singer questioning the other person’s feelings and wondering whether they’re even being heard.
Throughout the song, the singer asks the question, “Am I that easy to forget?” and seems to feel their love is not being reciprocated. They long for the other person’s affection and are willing to make sacrifices to make things right. Despite their efforts, the singer can’t let go of their feelings and continues to yearn for the other person’s love.
The song is a poignant exploration of the pain of unrequited love and the feeling of being forgotten. It carries an emotional weight that many can relate to, and the powerfully delivered lyrics and catchy melody make it a standout track in The Church’s discography.
