Lyrics:

I get all my ideas when I’m driving 
But my car’s such a cold place to be  
Two cracks in the door, from the owner before 
And the windows don’t shut properly 
 
Always trying to write something wonderful 
Without stopping to check on the time 
Got a feeling these seconds are following me 
Out the door, down the driveway and left past the sycamore trees 
They’re waving at me 

Please, don’t steal it away 
She begs you to wait 
When she walks with the moon in her face 
She’s got all of the answers, and she’ll be OK 

Didn't wanna break down in December 
So please don’t tell your mum that I did 
All the bells and the bars, and the alleluias 
I preferred it when I was a kid 

Never normally eat in the morning 
And this job’s taking all of my energy 
Never thought 24 would feel so old
And the worst part of ageing is there is no remedy 

Please, don’t steal it away 
She begs you to wait 
When she walks with the moon in her face 
She’s got all of the answers, and she’ll be OK 

I’ll leave my thoughts and phone behind 
Won’t need them where we’ll be tonight
No stopping now to check the time 
Got in my car and drive for miles
A pendulum swing, another strike
Making someone your next crime 
But I keep driving through the night
I won’t go out without a fight 
I’m miles away, I hear you chime
And all at once I know it’s time 
I catch a glimpse of years gone by, by
I see them flash before my eyes
Don’t get a chance to make it right 
I wonder if you hear me cry 

Don’t wait for me, I’ll be alright
I’ll meet you in another life

Easier to Leave was inspired by all the challenges that we inevitably face within long term relationships. It was written in response to the many fears and anxieties that trickle into our day to day interactions causing inevitable arguments that seem to have no rational foundation. It's about those moments when all of our kind, compassionate communication skills fly out the window, and we adopt a more self protective, argumentative stance. Easier to Leave was written in that moment when both parties have retreated to their own corners, mercilessly defending their own position, afraid to budge or meet in the middle. In those moments, compromise seems next to impossible. It feels threatening to turn towards each other and soften into understanding. In those moments, it feels like leaving might be the easiest thing to do.
