It Gets Easier Lyrics

Well, I stuck around the city for as long as I could do

But I haven't seen a smile

In quite a while

And I sang at every bar in the same old pair of shoes

'Cause where I'm from

They never go out of style

Well, four short years was all it took to

Take the thrill away

And when the man from the office corners me

He's begging me to stay

But if I take that walk, I'll lose my mind

I'll bury everyday

For reasons that I can't explain

They tried to tell me

It gets easier

The longer you stay

They ask what compels me

'Cause we got everything

You just have to pay

No, you just have to wait

Well, I stuck around town for a little bit too long

And now everybody's gone

And moved away

So I took a little break and went searching for a song

And I found in my mind was such a pleasant place to play

They say one good year is all it takes to really make the grade

And if I work real hard and pay my dues

Then I might just catch a break

But if my head's too big for the hat I wear

They'll take it all away

For reasons that I can't explain

They tried to tell me

It gets easier

The longer you stay

They ask what compels me

'Cause we got everything

You just have to pay

No, you just have to wait

They tried to tell me

It gets easier

The longer you stay

The longer you stay
