Easy Love
White Birds and Lemons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In thinking such a thing could be
That you could ever care for me
I'm sure you hate to hear
That I adore you, dear
But grant me
Just the same
For love
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize
All others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together
That it does seem a shame
That you can't see
Your future with me
Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love
The lyrics of White Birds and Lemons' song "Easy" describe the singer's unrequited love for someone who they feel is so easy to love. Despite knowing deep down that this person will never reciprocate their feelings, the singer cannot help but feel drawn to the potential greatness that a relationship with this person could hold. The first verse of the song establishes the singer's self-awareness, as they acknowledge that they are "just wasting precious time" by holding onto this desire. However, they still imagine a future where the person they adore could love them back. The second verse paints a picture of what this future could be like - "we'd be so grand at the game, so carefree together" - and emphasizes how much the singer longs for it, saying that the person is "so worth the yearning for" and "so swell to keep every home fire burning for".
Overall, the song tackles the universal theme of unrequited love, as well as the idea of romantic idealization - the notion that someone can be perfect in our minds, even if they aren't in reality. The singer recognizes that their feelings may not be reciprocated, yet still can't help but fantasize about a future with this person. The lyrics are powerful in their simplicity, capturing the raw emotions of love and longing in a relatable way.
