YOU MAKE IT EASY [Intro — fingerpicked acoustic, bass eases in] [Verse 1 — warm feminine vocal, intimate] Met you where the beach road ends, You moved your chair, I settled in. One drink turned into talking slow, The little bar was closing, so— [Lightly teasing] I took your hand, left both my shoes, Said, “Come on, I’ve got plans for you.” You smiled and let me lead the way, Past fishing boats pulled up for the day. [Pre-Chorus — smoky, gently rising] I caught myself explaining why I laugh so loud when I get shy. You said, “I like it,” pulled me near— I let the rest get lost out here. [Chorus — sultry, relaxed groove] You make it easy, Easy to stay, Say what I’m thinking, Look at you that way. [Open, soulful] Salt on my shoulders, Your hand warm in mine. You make it easy To leave my guard behind. [Soft harmony] Let my laugh run wild, Let your lips find me. Oh, you make it easy To be me. [Verse 2 — playful, close] I kissed you first beside the shore, Then leaned back in a little more. A wave came running up too fast, Soaked my dress and made us laugh. [Warm, smiling delivery] You caught my waist, I caught my breath, My hair was wild, my hem a mess. You brushed the sand off of my cheek— I pulled you close before you could speak. [Pre-Chorus — tender] You asked me something, let me think, We watched the moonlight break and blink. I took my time; you stayed right there. It felt so good to have that air. [Chorus — fuller, feminine harmonies] You make it easy, Easy to stay, Say what I’m thinking, Look at you that way. [Open, soulful] Salt on my shoulders, Your hand warm in mine. You make it easy To leave my guard behind. [Soft harmony] Let my laugh run wild, Let your lips find me. Oh, you make it easy To be me. [Instrumental — melodic bass, blues guitar answer] [Bridge — stripped back, quietly honest] I nearly gave the polished answer When you asked about my life. Then told you what a mess it’s been— You listened till the end. [Building warmth] Now here I am, still talking, Drawing circles in the sand. You’re smiling at my stories, And I’m reaching for your hand. [Final Chorus — rich, unhurried] You make it easy, Easy to stay, Say what I’m thinking, Look at you that way. [Warm layered harmonies] Salt on my shoulders, Your hand warm in mine. You make it easy To leave my guard behind. [Ad-lib — intimate] Let my laugh run wild, Let your lips find me. Oh, you make it easy To be me. [Outro — soft, almost whispered] My shoes can wait. Come kiss me again. You make it easy… Being this close, Being myself.
