Easy / Hard
Easier to tell a bunch of strangers how you turned me down easy
Easier to look a lion in the mouth
Strawberry silhouettes on all my nerve endings
I guess I'll never get another chance to love you now
Easier to catch my fall writing fantastical scripture
Even though I have been broken-hearted too many times to count
Gotta sweat the fever, huff the terror, take a step and jump the tower
It's a process... I'd rather do without
And they say, "Better the devil you know", but I don't know
I much rather the devil I don't
We used to stay up all night and talk for hours
What to do when you're all alone?
You got me waitin' by the telephone
You got me waitin' by the telephone
Harder to admit the truth than quit the piss-poor attitude
Harder to redact what I sent out
And so I ask you to forget what I said
Burn the envelope instead
But secretly - I hope you don't!
And they say, "Better the devil you know", but I don't know
I much rather the devil I don't
We used to stay up all night and talk for hours
What to do when you're all alone?
You got me waitin' by the telephone
You got me waitin' by the telephone
Another night we spend asleep in different beds
I put my records on. can't stop thinking about what you said
And - I wanted you from the start
But all I got left is this broken heart singing
"Better the devil you know!" Well, I didn't know
Still much rather that devil I don't
We used to say up all night and talk for hours
But what's the use? I'm all alone!
You got me waitin' by the telephone
You got me waitin' by the telephone
You got me waitin' by the telephone!
She's got me waitin' by the phone
Easier to look a lion in the mouth
Strawberry silhouettes on all my nerve endings
I guess I'll never get another chance to love you now
Easier to catch my fall writing fantastical scripture
Even though I have been broken-hearted too many times to count
Gotta sweat the fever, huff the terror, take a step and jump the tower
It's a process... I'd rather do without
And they say, "Better the devil you know", but I don't know
I much rather the devil I don't
We used to stay up all night and talk for hours
What to do when you're all alone?
You got me waitin' by the telephone
You got me waitin' by the telephone
Harder to admit the truth than quit the piss-poor attitude
Harder to redact what I sent out
And so I ask you to forget what I said
Burn the envelope instead
But secretly - I hope you don't!
And they say, "Better the devil you know", but I don't know
I much rather the devil I don't
We used to stay up all night and talk for hours
What to do when you're all alone?
You got me waitin' by the telephone
You got me waitin' by the telephone
Another night we spend asleep in different beds
I put my records on. can't stop thinking about what you said
And - I wanted you from the start
But all I got left is this broken heart singing
"Better the devil you know!" Well, I didn't know
Still much rather that devil I don't
We used to say up all night and talk for hours
But what's the use? I'm all alone!
You got me waitin' by the telephone
You got me waitin' by the telephone
You got me waitin' by the telephone!
She's got me waitin' by the phone
