Easy Go - Joelistics, Joelistics feat. Madeleine Paige, Madeleine Paige

Easy come, easy go he said

And didn’t think twice about what it meant

And if we have to do it all again

Then let your love shine down now

Let light shine down

Let your light shine

Let your light shine down

Don’t get it twisted, this is not some bittersweet symphony

We had a thing, fucked it up, now you don’t talk to me

I guess I could’a been better than I was, better than I was I guess

But in the end you chose to leave and left a great big mess

It’s not okay, that’s okay, it’s just the way it was

You gave me sweet fuck-all except, I suppose, I got this song

And then you ran ‘em up, put me out, in denial

I made my mind up, wait a while, but then, that wasn’t your style (Nah)

And I’ve been here before, tryin' to unlock broken doors

Got a whole lot of «just because», just before I cut those cords

But I cut my teeth, made my peace, got back on that horse

I rode east, rode that beast, outta town into a new dawn

Now I don’t think about you all that much, not these days

Memories like music notes, they ring out loud, then fade away

And like the song that’s the single, successful, we got played

Let that love light shine on down, let that sadness serenade

Easy come, easy go he said

And didn’t think twice about what it meant

And if we have to do it all again

Then let your love shine down now

Let light shine down

Let your light shine

Let your light shine down

Don’t get it twisted, this is not exactly what you thought

Don’t gimme no platitudes about how love ran its course

You oughta check yourself into therapy, I’m fairly sure

You made it all about you and yours, so I guess I chose to walk

Let’s not forget, you were absent, often out on tour

Fightin' in those weekend wars, tryin' to get yourself adored

Now you got something that you wanna say, you wanna talk

But for what?

You’ll just perform, then get off on your own applause

I know you’re good with words, I know you’re charming dear

And I miss that thing we had when it began, what we shared

You call up late at night and question me as if you care

There’s no great mystery dear, when I needed you, you weren’t there

Don’t call, don’t text, stop fuckin' around with my head

You left me with no choice, so I did what I thought was best

You’ll probably write a song and tell the world everything I said

But tell me love, just how long did you sleep in an empty bed?

Easy come, easy go she said

And didn’t think twice about what it meant

And if she had to do it all again

Then let your love shine down now

Let light shine down

Let your light shine

Let your light shine down

Don’t get it twisted, this is just some distant history

And there’s two sides to every story, both are incomplete

Misery loves company, memory is an expert thief

And you can fly with a leap of faith or you call fall and find your feet

It’s been two years since we put fin to all our ish

We’d maintained our distance, and I’ve maintained her one last wish

We don’t talk at all, no contact, no content

It’s like it never happened, just as if we never met

And eventually we’ll both just be footnotes in each other’s stories

Who knows?

We might just end up friends by the time we’re in our forties

Or maybe, go crazy wonderin' where it all went wrong

It came so easily, then just as easily it was gone

Easy come, easy go he said

And didn’t think twice about what it meant

And if he had to do it all again

Then let your love shine down now

Let light shine down

Let your light shine

Let your light shine down
