Look So Easy
Dave Barnes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been rued enough for the both of us
I hope that I haven't said too much lately, ooh lately
You laugh and listen to my mind
Underneath the lights of the city sky, baby, ooh baby

When laughing is gone my way
You're still beside me
When it all fall into places
Just remind me

Either way it's fine with me
You make it look so easy
We got all the time we need

Either way it's fine with me
You make it look so easy
You make it look so good

All these pictures hanging in the room
And things I thought I'd never do, baby, ooh baby
And I second guess what you don't doubt
And somehow it just don't works out lately, ooh lately

When laughing is gone my way
You're still beside me
When it all fall into places
Just remind me

Either way it's fine with me
You make it look so easy
We got all the time we need

Either way it's fine with me
You make it look so easy
You make it look so good

My life gets brighter by the day
From loving you, shine
I don't think you even have to try

Either way it's fine with me
You make it look so easy
We got all the time we need

Either way it's fine with me
You make it look so easy, baby
You make it look so good

Either way it's fine with me
You make it look so easy
We got all the time we need

Either way it's fine with me




You make it look so easy, baby, babe
You make it look so good
