[Verse 1]
If there’s a scream inside of you, just let it go
You’re beating yourself up, baby, don’t you know
You’ve got to get through and lift the roof off your soul
It’s like a pain locked in a part of your heart
It’s never going to leave it unless you start to warm it up
Be wise and be smart
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Out on the ocean
There’s no one around, no one to hear a sound
It’s just us out here out on the ocean
Speaking freely
Away from the city
Away from the ears that bug us and judge us
It’s so liberating to be free
And my heart slows down
[Chorus]
Nice and easy (easy)
And your breathing will be pleasing
Just speak easy (easy)
And say what’s on your mind
I search for something to compare you to
Thought long and hard for a simile true
Now I’m suddenly aware
End the quest you’re beyond compare
[Post-Chorus]
So speak easy
[Verse 2]
If there’s a shadow in your life then there’s sunshine
Things turning inside out all the time, just rewind
It’s all in your mind
Ooh so speak easy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Out here we’re floating
Late in the night and the only light to guide us
Is a full moon that’s glowing
On the sea
[Chorus]
Nice and easy (easy)
And your breathing will be pleasing
Just speak easy (easy)
And say what’s on your mind
I search for something to compare you to
Thought long and hard for a simile true
Now I’m suddenly aware
End the quest you’re beyond compare
[Post-Chorus]
So speak easy (easy)
Speak easy
Speak easy (speak easy)
Speak easy
