Be Easy 03:06
So many things taking up my time, weighing down my mind sometimes it's hard to breath Gotta keep focused on the grind, failing is a crime to me I know that it's easy to forget, all of the goals that you have set seems what's important is always lost, nothing left to do but bear your cross and be easy baby gotta be easy baby It's not hard to let it go and just be easy baby gotta be easy baby oh be easy Now you're trying pick a side don't wanna comprise you'll find you'll lose your way It is what it is at the end of the day Now before too long you face what you're running from All the time you need is right in front of you So just take a breath and be easy baby oh be easy It's not hard to let it go and just be easy Be easy to please me, I hope all my words proceed me Hope you believe me, hope you can see that what you need Is to drop the inhibition to supersede the competition and just float away And be easy oh just be easy baby It's not hard to let it go and just be easy easy easy don't you want to please me baby It's not hard to let it go and just be easy

Picking up Cindy for our first date I got there early good impression didn't wanna be late I introduce myself her mom was hot could be a stripper Her dad was big and scary built like a beast a body builder It's hard to slip from his kung-fu grip as he give me the glare My sweat's dripping and my thoughts are slipping when Cindy walks down the stairs And I saw her standing there My heart stopped beating and I stopped breathing but I didn't seem to care Her beautiful lips formed the perfect smile And the world stopped spinning for a little while When I saw her standing there Driving with Cindy radio's broken in my mom's van It's kind of awkward trying to bring up conversation as best I can We pull up to the restaurant step out the car with no delay I try to look cool as I pull out a $10 bill to pay the valet My expressions are lying cuz my thoughts are flying as I open the door I think, try to impress don't step on her dress as I trip to the floor And I saw her standing there My heart stopped beating and I stopped breathing but I didn't seem to care Her beautiful lips formed the perfect smile And the world stopped spinning for a little while When I saw her standing there Eating with Cindy all's going well at least I think Till I reach for the salt bump the table and spill my drink I freak out apologize and Cindy's laughing I frantically call for the waiter to ask for more napkins My ego's sinking and all I'm thinking is this date is wreck My chest heaving but her smile's relieving as I ask for the check Take her home cuz her curfew is 11 Just be safe we were there by 10:37 We walk up the path way it seems to take forever We get to the front door and stand there together I look in her eyes and think what could be better than this I was ready to leave and then she leaned in for the kiss And I saw her standing there My heart stopped beating and I stopped breathing but I didn't seem to care Her beautiful lips formed the perfect smile And the world stopped spinning for a little while When I saw her standing there When I saw her standing there

So long dignity Seems like you got the best of me And so long peace of mind Cuz just like you it's left me behind But soon you'll put down your guard And let me hold your heart And then you, oh you just might find That what your looking for Is what you left behind What you left behind Hello to loneliness An old friend oh yes I confess And hello to sleepless nights But just like me they're gonna get left behind Cuz soon you'll put down your guard And let me hold your heart And then you, oh you just might find That what your looking for Is what you left behind What you left behind What you left behind, what you left behind What you left behind, what you left behind Soon you'll put down your guard And let me hold your heart And then you, oh you just might find That what your looking for Is what you left behind What you left behind, what you left behind What you left behind, what you left behind What you left behind, what you left behind What you left behind, what you left behind

She wanted more, hometown hero's not the title she's looking for Cuz through her eyes she realized for a better life, take her own advice and never look behind at the people trying to hold her from her dreams And he knows that it must be real cuz he's in so deep And he knows he's the man she wants but is what she needs It's too late to falsify, he knows there'll come a day, why wait Oooo my love Oooo my love Never let you go, never let you go Oh no no no no no He compares, won't spend his life just riding on coattails In his heart it doesn't seem so far, and when he's with her it doesn't seem so hard to raise the bar be who are and take life as it comes And she learns from the passion he gives through the song he sings And she grows from the balance and peace that his love brings It's too late to falsify, she can see the open door, this is more Oooo my love Oooo my love Oooo my love Oooo my love Never let you go, never let you go Oh no no no no no She said listen here coming up on two years Two more I'll be clear, what you feel what you need Asking please come with me fly away start a new day you say Anywhere as long as you're with me ohh as long as your with me yeaa Never let you go no no no oh no no no no oh no no no no no no no oh no no no no no no no no my love oh oh my love love oh love love Oooo my love Oooo my love Never let you go

Well it's frustrating contemplating why you ain't reciprocating all my love baby Cuz my heart's been congregating while my soul's anticipating all your love baby All I need to know Am I in or am I out, is my love what your about Oh don't keep me stalling cuz baby I'm falling don't know when I'm coming down Darling let me know If I should stop coming around Stop coming around oh I got a woman wanna cut me down Now a back handed plan got a good man stranded And there ain't no one else around Well it's confusing when you're choosing to continue on abusing all my love baby Cuz you know that you're refusing to look at all your losing without my love yea All I need to know Am I in or am I out, is my love what your about Oh don't keep me stalling cuz baby I'm falling don't know when I'm coming down Darling let me know If I should stop coming around Stop coming around oh I got a woman wanna cut me down Now a back handed plan got a good man stranded And there ain't no one else around Stop making me think you're mine Then leaving me on the line Hard to figure out what to say, do you want me to go or want me to stay I believe that what I'm feeling is true I just want to be with you Getting shorter everyday, I won't give up or walk away Stop coming around I got a woman wanna cut me down Now a back handed plan got a good man stranded And theres no one around No no no no no no no No no no No no no no no no no No no no Oh yea Stop coming around yea I got a woman wanna cut me down Now a back handed plan got a good man stranded And there ain't no one else around

All of the songs on this EP were written and performed by me with vocals, acoustic guitar and hand drums(world percussion).
