'Cause it's easier to losenNever try at all and pay those duesnStay alone, stay broke, stay safe at homen'Cause a crush in every town doesn't add up to true loven'Cause true love is tried and true love is tried but don't try it too muchnn'Cause it's easier to losen'Cause it's easier to losennWake up in a new townnSow my seeds so it don't grow too tallnThe roots won't grow too far downnHoping for a strong windnSomething to blow my dandelion seedsnTo somewhere elsennI think I'll fill my gut tonight with something brown and painfulnSmoke my cigarretes until they burn my lipsnUntil the filter just gets in the way of enjoymentnI said I never wanted to spend another winter in the coldnSo I picked up and left younYou know as I do that absence makes the heart grow suspiciousnThere's something to be said about having an argumentnAnd convincing myself I'm right, well, it happens all the timenAnd all the bad feelings subside in just a couple pours and sipsnI could snap like a stressed out string and pick up the dirt like it's such a simple thingnSuch a simple thingnContacts and contracts personally prescribing medicinenDrink tickets and free meals of fake dealsnHitchhikers and transluscent mountain floorsnCold air, warm beers, fat wallets to skinny pocketsnI don't even know where I amnI don't even know where I amnSomewhere on the west coast and this road is as long as my longing to be homenFree as hell out here and something free is always nicenBut I'm a handout for the kids and it makes me feel cheapnAnd they'll take me, they'll take me without thinking twicenI'll be grateful for some sleepnn'Cause it's easier to losen'Cause it's easier to losen
