[Verse 1] Your saved game crashed, your day ran long You stress-cleaned the whole kitchen for no reason Wrote a list of everything that could go wrong Then added three more things just to be thorough
[Pre-Chorus] I watched you spiral on the couch I didn’t say a word Just slid a little closer - yeah
[Chorus] Take it easy (Take it easy) You don’t have to carry this alone (never alone) Take it easy (Take it easy) I’m not going anywhere, you know (you should know) Whatever breaks, whatever bends We’ve seen worse, we’re still here (always) So take it easy (easy) Take it easy (easy and slow)
[Verse 2] I know the way you laugh it off When you’re not really fine but won’t say so You talk too fast, you pace the floor I know your tells - I clocked them long ago
[Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to be okay right now (take it easy) We can just sit in this (you and me) Yeah, just like this (just like this)
[Chorus] Take it easy (Take it easy) You don’t have to carry this alone(never alone) Take it easy (Take it easy) I’m not going anywhere, you know (you should know) Whatever breaks, whatever bends We’ve seen worse, we’re still here (always) So take it easy (easy) Take it easy (easy and slow)
[Bridge] I’m not asking you to fix it I’m not asking you to try Just— Put it down for a minute I’m right here, you’re alright
[soft sway / settle]
[Pre-Chorus - resolved] And I know you’d do the same for me (we promised) You already have, actually (everytime, everytime) More than once (all the time)
[Chorus] Take it easy (Take it easy) You don’t have to carry this alone(never alone) Take it easy (Take it easy) I’m not going anywhere, you know (you should know) Whatever breaks, whatever bends We’ve seen worse, we’re still here (always) So take it easy (easy) Take it easy (easy and slow)
[Final Chorus - key lift] Take it easy (easy and slow) You don’t have to carry this alone (no no never alone) Take it easy (right by me) I’m not going anywhere, you know (no no ooh) When it all piles up at once We’ve been here before, we know how this goes (ooohh) So take it easy (by my side) So take it easy (day and night) Yeah, take it easy (take it easy)
[Outro - bare, intimate] Take it easy (easy and slow) Just breathe (ooh ooh) Take it easy (always with you) I’ve got you, and you’ve got me Take it easy (we’re taking it easy) Taking it easy with you
