Take It Easy (Love Nothing)

First with your hands, then with your mouth

A downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds

I was a fool, you were my friend

We made it happen

You took of your clothes, left on the light

You stood there so brave, you used to be shy

Each feature improved, each movement refined

And eyes like a showroom

Now they are spreading out the blankets on the beach

That weatherman' s a liar, he said it would be raining

But it's clear and blue as far as I can see

Left by the lamp, right next to the bed

On a cartoon cat pad she scratched with a pen

"Everything is as it's always been

This never happened"

"Don't take it so bad, it's nothing you did

It's just once something dies, you can't make it live

You're a beautiful boy, you're a sweet little kid

But I am a woman"

So I laid back down and wrapped myself up in the sheet

And I must have looked like a ghost, cause something frightened me

And since then I've been so good at vanishing

Now I do as I please, and I lie through my teeth

Someone might get hurt, but it won't be me

I should probably feel cheap, but I just feel free

And a little bit empty

No it isn't so hard to get close to me

There will be no arguments, we will always agree

And I will try and be kind when I ask you to leave

We will both take it easy

But if you stay too long inside my memory

I will trap you in a song tied to a melody

And I'll keep you there so you can't bother me
