So Easy, I Know

I close my eyes and find you sitting there
Naked, curled into a ball
Holding back your knees with your arms
Wrapped around them
There to break your fall

It's so easy to convince yourself
And so easy to forget yourself
I know, I know
I know, I know

But it's closing in and the distance we've been keeping
Doesn't seem so safe anymore
Holding back our fears to our chests
To protect them
What are we waiting for?

It's so easy to convince ourselves
And so easy to forget ourselves
I know, I know
I know, I know

I know, I know

But have you ever thought for a moment that
You are in this moment and that
No other moment could be just like now?

So do not waste this moment
Accept everything it's holding
And stop trying to plan
Every single when, where, and how

I open my eyes and find my own reflection
Every section just as I recall
Holding back my tears nervously
As I see the great barriers fall

It was so easy to convince myself
And so easy to forget myself
I know, I know
I know, I know
