Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Run to the east
Gotta leave, I need a way out
Looking at me, coloring out of the lines now
You only break when you take the bend too far
Don't like it fake, I relate
I think it's true love
[Verse 2]
It's been a while since you and I been where we started
I don't wanna let it fade away
[Verse 3]
It used to be easy
Now you can't even look me in the eye
A visceral feeling
That I can never leave behind
And it's under my skin but I can't reach in
When you know where I've been so we play pretend
It used to be easy
It used to be easy
[Verse 4]
I know it well, caramel, I feel the comedown
We've been to hell, I can tell, we're slowing down now
Oh, you bring up the past, didn't ask
Give me the know how (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry)
So we make it last 'nother glass until we come 'round
[Verse 5]
It's been a while since you and I been where we started
I don't wanna let it fade away
[Verse 6]
It used to be easy
Now you can't even look me in the eye
A visceral feeling
That I can never leave behind
And it's under my skin but I can't reach in
When you know where I've been so we play pretend
It used to be easy
It used to be easy
[Verse 7]
Love like a landslide
I kiss you goodnight
Love like a landslide
I kiss you goodnight
It used to be easy
