Easy to Fall For (Full Band Version)

“Easy to Fall For” was one of the last songs that I wrote for Stories from an Old Set of Strings, and the third single that I released last year. I was really happy with the way that the song came out as an acoustic performance but, even when I was releasing it I always knew that it had the potential for more.

My entire goal with Stories was to create an “introduction” of sorts to me, to my stories, and my music. I think that “Easy to Fall For” was a great way to do that, and it had a great feel to it as an acoustic song. But as I started adding a full band to some of the songs from this album, I knew that this had to be the first one that I released.

Easy to Fall For Lyrics

Verse
There was a time
Before you came around
When it all seemed so simple
My life was so buttoned down

But then you stole a glance
And threw a wrench in my plans
Now it feels like my next move
Is in someone else’s hands

Chorus
You were easy to fall for
and hard to let go
I just wanted you to need me
more than you know
but that’s not how it’s meant to be
still this memory of you just won’t leave
cuz you were easy to fall for
and hard to let go

Verse
There was a time
I thought I’d seen it all
There was no way to get through
The walls around my soul

But just one look at you
And everything changed
I thought that I’d found someone
to carry my flame

Bridge
Now that you’re out of my life
Every thought of you cuts like a knife
Every time that I walk out the door
feels like a roll of the dice

Cuz I don’t think I can take anymore
I’ve been here before and I swore
I’d never feel this again
But here I am down on the floor
