Name: Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed
Duration: P00H04M37S
Description: This one was a lot of fun to play live, with the stop and start riffs and the "I'm so lucky to be alive!" gang vocal. Listening back to it now, I wish we had taken the time to clean up the guitar tones and tempo stutters in the recording.

lyrics

This is how I remember you
This is how you'll stay
This is how I remember you
This is how you'll stay

Standing in a field
Waiting for the sun to rise
Or the rain to fall down
On your shattered life
And you don't really care which way it goes
Cause worse wouldn't be so much worse than
What you've been fighting
For the last two years

I tore that picture up
It floats like dust in the wind
In the morning air
And you just closed your eyes
And went on with your life
Like no one really cared

Those pictures of you
Smiling with all your friends
Are from before the world came down
And sometimes I wonder if all those smiles
Were just a face you put on
To face a world that let you down
I remember watching you fall
And I remember thinking
That it was all my fault

Now I'm sitting in a field
Waiting for the sun to rise
Or the rain to fall down
On my new life
As much as I say I don't care which way it goes
Worse would be much worse than
What I've grown used to
And I realize
I'm so lucky to be alive

Living is so easy with your eyes closed
Living is so easy with your eyes closed
Living is so easy with your eyes closed
Living is so easy with your eyes closed
