This song is about running away from the problems that Amanda has created for herself. She is trying to become “light and easy” so she can fly away and forget what she has done.
Mother, I worry the sun will shortly set
If we don't hurry and put on our regret
You are my weather, it's easier for some
Float like a feather and quietly become
Light and easy
Naive and unarmed
They can't reach me
If I find a way to keep you warm
Father, I wonder what nature has in store
A little thunderful message from the core
Cut off my anchor, I won't need it no more
Ten thousand troubles waving from the shore
Light and easy
Flourish every day
Nice and breezy
Humming on the songs we used to play
Light and easy
Not the time to tell
Nice and dreamy
They can't hear my sorry marrow yell
Light and easy
Naive and unarmed
They still reach me
I must find a way to keep you warm
Light and easy
Every sun must set
I'm completely
Trapped in all the things I can't forget
Trapped in all the things I can't forget
Trapped in all the things I can't forget
