[Verse 1]
A tiny heel turn,
A sudden, sharp complaint
I froze in the pasture
In a posture so faint
It picked a sacred spot
Like it had paid the rent
Now every move I made
Had to be measured and bent
[Pre-Chorus]
One wrong flick
And I pay for it twice
One rushed move
And I learn the hard way tonight
[Chorus]
Easy now
Easy now
Careful hands, careful hands
Easy now
Easy now
One clean end, one clean plan (one clean plan)
[Verse 2]
I looked like a statue
With a clock in my chest
Trying not to panic
Trying not to make a mess
I could crush the moment
Or I could miss the mark
So I took my sweet time
In the heat and the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
One wrong flick
And I pay for it twice
One rushed move
And I learn the hard way tonight
[Chorus]
Easy now
Easy now
Careful hands, careful hands
Easy now
Easy now
One clean end, one clean plan (one clean plan)
[Bridge]
There’s a kind of danger
Too small to respect
Till it finds your weak place
And demands full effect
So I moved like a surgeon
With a jaw locked tight
No grand parade
Just a tiny war to fight
[Chorus]
Easy now
Easy now
Careful hands, careful hands
Easy now
Easy now
One clean end, one clean plan (one clean plan)
[Outro]
It requires great care
Skill, and tact
For the smallest trouble
To be taken back
