audio by artist glen phillips

 Just a little post today.  It's my (Kraig) 3rd wedding anniversary today, and I figured I'd share a song that's really hitting home right about now.  Any of you with a significant other should be able to relate with this track.  I'm posting a demo that's a bit darker than the version found on Winter Pays For Summer.  I prefer the darker touches here.  The lyrics truly make the song in this case so I thought I'd share them.  My favorite lyrics are bolded:

Glen Phillips - Easier

I am the son of a soap opera town

Mayberry rebel, a middle class clown

You were the backflip, doe eyed

Tree climbing angel from heaven who finally came down

I never thought that I could be

Getting my grey hair with you beside me

And it's something I'm blind to

But you still see

But it couldn't be better, I know

And it shouldn't be easier

I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall

I wanna be the toy in your cereal box

I wanna be Carter at your peace talks

I wanna get almost too familiar

But still notice the way that you walk

And if you said you were going away

I would run on the tarmac

And I would lay down in front of the plane

Just to get you to stay

(Chorus)

I've got everything I've ever wanted here

Everything and damn this constant fear

I'm sure I'm gonna lose it all

Just waiting for the other boot to fall

And if you thought I could be replaced

I wouldn't just stop with an ear

I would cut off my whole fucking face

Just to make my point clear

(Chorus)

The other boot to fall

Waiting for the other boot to fall
