Easier by 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
