Coming Up Easy
Nutini Paolo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunday morning go the hazy, hazy jeans
I turn to you and inhale where you lay.
Took a wonder through the garden,
To awake the long long day
And then roll of a while on violet flower bed.

Oh, you kiss my lips again and again and again
And then again and then we watched the sun coming up easy
While the rain came tumbling down
And it watched our bodies so cleanly
We could see them rise up off of the cold cold ground.

Its a shame the way its seems to go
Cause now my best friend, my partner in crime
I'm afraid it looks like we're
Gonna have to go our separate ways.
You see the thing is I love you, I love you
But you see I resent you all the time.
All my other friends their just saying
Your slowing me down.

Oh I should have known
You'd turn to me and say
Before you throw too much of me away.
Don't you remember seeing the sun coming up easy
While the rain came tumbling down.
And it washed out bodies so cleanly
Seen them rise up off of the cold cold ground.

We seen the sun coming up easy
While the rain came tumbling down
And it washed our bodies so clean
We could feel them rise up off of the cold cold ground.

It was in love I was created




And in love is how I hope I die
And in love is how I hope I die

Overall Meaning

The song "Coming Up Easy" by Paolo Nutini speaks of a shared moment, possibly with a lover or a close friend. The first verse sets the tone with a lazy, hazy Sunday morning, where the singer is lying next to someone and inhales the scent of their jeans. The next few lines describe taking a walk in a garden, perhaps to usher in the day or just to enjoy the present moment. They then roll about on a violet flower bed, which is a simple pleasure that they both seem to relish.


The chorus of the song repeats, with the two people watching the sun come up and the rain pouring down. However, there's a subtle difference in the second part, where they can see their bodies rising up from the ground, as if to signify a renewal of sorts. The second verse delves into the singer's relationship with their friend or partner. They love them, but resent them for slowing them down. It seems that there's a decision to be made, and it's a painful one. However, the chorus acts as a reminder of the good moments that they shared together, and the sentiment of love is carried through to the very end.


Ultimately, "Coming Up Easy" speaks of the complexities and contradictions of human relationships. There are moments of pure joy and love, but those are often tempered with feelings of frustration, disappointment, and uncertainty. In a way, the song's message is to embrace those moments of joy and cherish them, even if they're fleeting.
