lyrics

Why Must We Make Easy So Hard

(Verse)
It’s been a long, hard and lonely season
But I finally found a way to feel fine
But now the echoes of your touch have left it freezing
‘Cause for the moment you were here, I felt it shine
How foolish was I to think things might be different this time?

(Chorus)
Why must we make easy so hard?
Why must we see endings before there’s even a start?
Why must all my nights be sleepless nights
Where dreams of you tear me apart?
Why must we make easy so hard?

(Verse)
The muffled din of performers out on Crescent
Mingled with the hopes of the passersby,
While on a pearl-white tablecloth, two hands pretended
That forever was a day nestled into late July
But soon sentiments fade and leave reason to conquer the rhyme.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Such stories are told
By authors and artists
By canvas and rhymes
By stars and blue skies
And oh, how we dine
On sensibility’s harvest
And though never without,
We’re always unsatisfied

(Chorus)

"What a wonderful world we live in where love is manifest. What a splendorous place it would be if we let it be as simple as it wants to be." - Joshua Fialkoff
