Easier (with Teitur) Lyrics

I was 18 and so were you
I was that birkenstock geek rock dude
You were the back flip, doe-eyed,
Tree-climbing, earth-mama, beautiful evergreen girlAnd I never thought that I could be
Gettin' my grey hair with you beside me
And there's something I'm blind to but you still seeAnd it couldn't be better, I know
It shouldn't be easier to hold
I should stop waiting for the other boot to fallI wanna be the toy in your cereal box
I wanna be Charter in your peace talks
I wanna get almost too familiar
But still notice the way that you walkIf you said you were going away
I'd run on the tarmac
And I would lay down in front of the plane
Just to get you to stay'cause it couldn't be better, I know
It shouldn't be easier to hold
I should stop waiting for the other boot to fallGot everything I'd ever wanted here
Everything, then this constant fear
I'm sure I'm gonna lose it all

Just waiting for the other boot to fallIf you thought I could be replaced
I wouldn't just stop w/ an ear
I would cut off my whole fuckin' face
Just to make my point clearThat it couldn't be better, I know
It shouldn't be easier to hold
I should stop waiting for the other boot to fall
I'm waiting for the other boot to fall
