So Easy, I Know - Dani Shay

I close my eyes and find you sitting there

Naked, curled into a ball

Holding back your knees with your arms

Wrapped around them

There to break your fall

It’s so easy to convince yourself

And so easy to forget yourself

I know, I know

I know, I know

But it’s closing in and the distance we’ve been keeping

Doesn’t seem so safe anymore

Holding back our fears to our chests

To protect them

What are we waiting for?

It’s so easy to convince ourselves

And so easy to forget ourselves

I know, I know

I know, I know

I know, I know

But have you ever thought for a moment that

You are in this moment and that

No other moment could be just like now?

So do not waste this moment

Accept everything it’s holding

And stop trying to plan

Every single when, where, and how

I open my eyes and find my own reflection

Every section just as I recall

Holding back my tears nervously

As I see the great barriers fall

It was so easy to convince myself

And so easy to forget myself

I know, I know

I know, I know
