It's Easier To Pick You Up Than It Is To Put You Down

from Miles From Nowhere by Laura Meyer

lyrics

IT’S EASIER TO PICK YOU UP THAN IT IS TO PUT YOU DOWN

It’s easier to pick you up than it is to put you down
And I’ve been trying to pick you up since you came into town
But you won’t budge - you just stand there, looking so tall and proud
I know a man must stand for something, but boy you know I want to lie down

It’s easier to pick you up than it is to put you down
So I sit here on my stool, sipping you like a cloud
Growing tipsy on my view and wishing I could touchdown
But it’s past last call and still I’ve had no sign of breaking drought

You know I’m not bitter and in case you haven’t figured out
I’m no quitter - I’m ready for another round

It’s easier to pick you up than it is to put you down
I’m addicted to your stuff - it’s the best I’ve ever found
When the light spills on my boot heels and the night slips away like stout
I still haven’t had my fill of you - I will drink you until I drown
