Like the memory from your mother's house from before you got too old
Like the feeling from a photograph before it's meanings all got told
The words i say can be silver, but what's left unsaid can be gold
So get to know me once i go away

Maybe 'cause i come from such an empty-hearted town
Or maybe 'cause some love of mine had really let me down
But the only time i am lonely is when others are around
I just never end up knowing what to say

If i wanted someone to clean me up, i'd find myself a maid
If i wanted someone to spend my money, i wouldn't need to get paid
If i wanted someone to understand me, i'd have so much more to say
I want you to make the days move easy

I took everything i thought from what it means to be a man
We need words to be put to what we do not understand
While you lean into the echoes and you do not raise a hand
Oh woman, help me see it like it is

If i wanted someone to clean me up, i'd find myself a maid
If i wanted someone to spend my money, i wouldn't need to get paid
If i wanted someone to understand me, i'd have so much more to say
I want you to make the days move easy

If i wanted someone to clean me up, i'd find myself a maid
If i wanted someone to spend my money, i wouldn't need to get paid
If i wanted someone to cut me down, i'd have handed you the blade
I want you to make the days move easy
I just want you to make the days move easy
