Verse 1
We were swinging on the front porch, sunlight dancing on our knees,
Bare feet in the red dirt, humming low with the summer breeze.
Didn’t worry ’bout tomorrow, didn’t think past today,
Life was simple as a backroad and a slow reggae wave.
Verse 2
But the world got complicated, moving faster than our stride,
Bills and promises and heartache stacking up like rising tides.
Tangled memories like kudzu climbing all around my mind,
Got so lost inside the noise I left the quiet far behind.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
But even storms have gentle rhythms—
If you lean in, you’ll hear them play…
⸻
Chorus
’Cause easy comes around again,
If you let the hard times sway.
There’s a sweetness in the shifting,
There’s a dance inside the strain.
Though the road got rough and winding,
We can still find our own lane—
Turn the chaos into kindness,
Till it feels like home again.
⸻
Long Instrumental Interlude (for solos)
(Laid-back skank guitar on the off-beats, slide guitar weaving through,
light percussion groove, bass carrying the melody—space for extended solos.)
⸻
Verse 3
Now I’m older but I’m seeing how the river finds its flow,
How the breaks can shape a shoreline that you never used to know.
Every twist became a teacher, every stumble cleared the haze,
And the kid I used to be whispers, “You just needed time to change.”
⸻
Final Chorus
’Cause easy comes around again,
When you breathe and let it stay.
There’s a blessing in the bending,
There’s a calm within the rain.
Every trial lit a lantern
For the nights we felt the strain—
Now the future feels familiar,
’Cause we learned to love the change.
⸻
Outro
Let the heartbeat find its rhythm,
Let the daylight kiss the ground—
What we lose becomes the lesson,
What we keep is what we’ve found.
In the hush of early morning,
When the world’s without a sound…
Life is simple as it started—
That’s when easy comes around.
