Make It Easier
Devendra Banhart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To lose the love I've had
Lose the love I've had
Make it easier on me
Easier on me

Said it's cold outside
Well it's cold outside
It's so cold outside
Yes it's cold outside

We should come inside
'Cause it's cold outside
We should come inside
'Cause it's cold outside

Said it's cold outside
Yes it's cold outside
Yes it's cold outside
It's cold outside

We should come inside




We should come inside
'Cause it's cold outside
