Easy to Try Lyrics by Elyse Shackleton

21 Days

2020

[Verse 1]
I was drawn to you like a lantern in the fog
Eventually I'd have made it home, on my own
But you were there in the dark
Your footsteps were familiar
Like a path I'd been on without knowing
Eventually I caught up with you
The person whose footprints I was following

[PreChorus 1]
I know we've both been through it
Somehow surviving to the other side of things
But just because we made it here
Doesn't mean we made it here in one piece
We're both still feeling the effects of it all
Used to picking up our pieces alone
It's hard to trust someone else
And it's hard to have faith in yourself

[Chorus]
So you wonder if you’ll break this, lose me like you lost them
And I wonder if I’ll fake something, try to feel something I can’t
And you worry that you’ll scare me off, I’m scared I’ll try to hide
But when you’re scared, you just ask
And I find it’s easy to try

[Verse 2]
Along the path, you left markings, signs to gently point the way
A little bit of comfort for us who came after to know we were safe
But I wanted to meet this person – she'd clearly had a hard journey
With fewer footprints she could trace
Fewer signs she was following

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I learned that we'd both been through it
Somehow surviving to the other side of things
I found out quick that I wanted to help you
Find and repair your pieces
And you were just as prepared
To help me with my own fixes
Welcoming parts of me into the daylight
I had forgotten existed

[Chorus]
So you wonder if you’ll break this, lose me like you lost them
And I wonder if I’ll fake something, try to feel something I can’t
And you worry that you’ll scare me off, I’m scared I’ll try to hide
But when you’re scared, you just ask
And I find it’s easy to try

[Bridge]
I don't wanna hide, I don't wanna run
I wanna put my heart on the line
The Sun is coming up and we taste first daylight
(It's easy to try)

All it takes is a moment of courage
To pull your cards from your chest
And with time, it gets easier, easier
(I find it's easy to try)

I don't wanna run, I wanna do right by you
So much that it's easy to try to
We're only afraid 'cause it's too precious to lose
(It's easy to try)

All it takes is a moment of courage
To play the card in your hand
And each time, it gets easier, easier
(I find it's easy to try)

[Chorus]
So you wonder if you’ll break this, lose me like you lost them
And I wonder if I’ll fake something, try to feel something I can’t
And you worry that you’ll scare me off, I’m scared I’ll try to hide
But when you’re scared, you just ask
And I find it’s easy to try

[Outro]
Easy
