Everything Comes Easy to You

Everything comes easy to you.

A quarter of the effort,

still the best in the room.

If it all goes flowing upstream...

Everything comes easy, you see.

My hardest memory,

filling all the in-between.

If it all goes flowing upstream,

a story told backwards.

A magician and his queen.

You could tell every passage backwards.

Chef Boyardee.

Naturally born superstar.

A magician has driven,

with his mind set...

My worst nightmare

turned into my dream.

Stubborn.

Who the hell am I

to assume

when your sadness

blooms flowers?

When somehow

the flowers still bloom

from your [...]

Why, when it comes to you...

Like a dream

left beaming.

Forgotten lighthouse,

but the brightest

on the shore.

But as the better half of me,

I let you be.

Like a dream

left beaming.

The brightest lighthouse.

You're the lighthouse

left beaming.

Alternate Draft Fragments

Everything comes easy to you.

A quarter of the effort,

still the best in the room.

Everything comes easy, you see.

My hardest memory.

My deepest nightmare.

A story told now backwards.

A magician and his queen.

If it all goes flowing upstream,

the story would be told backwards.

1.

Everything comes easy to you.

A quarter of the effort.

Still the best in the room.

2.

Drenched in your roots...

You still got them blooming stronger

than your words.

3.

The better half of me,

don't you see?

All I see,

the better half of me.

4.

You're my hardest memory.

The better half of me.

The only one I see.

It all comes easy to you.
