Easy and Me
Kathryn Williams Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We road on train
With anger and pain
But we didn't cry
Easy and me
And some other guy

We hooked some ride
Stood side by side

And watch cars go by
Easy and me
And some other guy

Days and nights
We care for each other
The wrongs and the rights
We shared with each other

Then one day last week
He kissed my cheek
And whispered goodbye
Then easy walked on
With some other guy

One day last week
He kissed my cheek
And whispered goodbye
Then easy walked on

With some other guy

We road on train
We traveled together on a train

With anger and pain
We were both upset and hurting

But we didn't cry
We didn't show our emotions by crying

Easy and me
The artist and another person named Easy

And some other guy
There was another person with us

We hooked some ride
We caught a ride together

Stood side by side
We stood close to each other

And watch cars go by
We observed the passing cars

Days and nights
We spent a lot of time together

We care for each other
We showed concern and support for each other

The wrongs and the rights
We shared the good and bad times
