Take It Easy

[Verse 1]
Wake up slow, no alarm to chase
Sun on the pillow, a stripe across my face
Phone stays facedown by the coffee stain
Nothing on the calendar, nothing to explain

I pull on yesterday's shirt, let the kettle complain
Toast gets dark but I eat it the same
Bare feet tapping on the kitchen tile
I got nowhere to be for a little while

[Pre-Chorus]
No green light, no finish line
Just your laugh crossing mine
Let the whole world hurry past
We found a day that doesn't ask

[Chorus]
Take it easy, take it easy
Let the morning roll right through
No big plans, no reason needed
All I want is time with you
Take it easy, take it easy
Leave the checklist in the drawer
If this is all we get today
I don't need a little more

[Verse 2]
We buy two peaches from the corner stand
Juice on our wrists, your hand in my hand
Miss the bus and call it luck
Sit on the curb while the afternoon wakes up

You point at a dog in a yellow raincoat
I laugh so hard that I lose my note
We take the long way past the laundromat
A day this good doesn't need a photograph

[Pre-Chorus]
No green light, no finish line
Just your laugh crossing mine
Let the whole world hurry past
We found a day that doesn't ask

[Chorus]
Take it easy, take it easy
Let the morning roll right through
No big plans, no reason needed
All I want is time with you
Take it easy, take it easy
Leave the checklist in the drawer
If this is all we get today
I don't need a little more

[Bridge]
Maybe joy is small enough
To fit inside a paper cup
Maybe time is kind when we
Stop trying to make it something else

Stay right here, don't turn it into gold
Don't make a promise, don't make it hold
Your shoulder warm against my sleeve
That's plenty for a day like these

[Final Chorus]
Take it easy, take it easy
Let the morning roll right through
No big plans, no reason needed
All I want is time with you
Take it easy, take it easy
Leave the checklist in the drawer
If this is all we get today
I don't need a little more

[Outro]
No big plans, no need to know
We let the afternoon move slow
Take it easy, take it easy
That is all I want today
