Verse 1
Sometimes it’s hard to see
Through the smoke and through the haze
Tryin’ to navigate this madness
Just stay clear of her gaze
Verse 2
I keep my motor running
But I never seem to leave
I’m tangled in her web
And she’s letting me believe
Pre-Chorus
Maybe it’s not as crazy as it seems
Chorus
She’s easy on my mind
Trouble for my heart
Lights my world on fire
She’s the match, I’m the spark
Girl, we light up the dark
I oughta slow it down
But I’m already gone
She’s easy on my mind
Go easy on me, girl
Verse 3
Now the nights are getting longer
And the lines are getting thin
Every time I say I’m leaving
I’m running back again
Verse 4
There’s wildfire in her eyes
Gasoline on her kiss
It’s a slow burn kind of fever
That you know I can’t resist
Pre-Chorus
Maybe I’m right where I shouldn’t be
Chorus
She’s easy on my mind
Trouble for my heart
Lights my world on fire
She’s the match, I’m the spark
Girl, we light up the dark
I oughta slow it down
But I’m already gone
She’s easy on my mind
Go easy on me, girl

Bridge — Breakdown
I could walk away right now
Let the ashes fall
But every time I get that close
I don’t wanna lose it all
Final Chorus — Breakdown
She’s easy on my mind
Trouble for my heart
Lights my world on fire
She’s the match, I’m the spark
Girl, we light up the dark
I oughta slow it down
But I’m already gone
She’s easy on my mind
Outro
Go easy on me, girl
Go easy on my heart
You might set this world on fire
Girl, don’t tear it all apart
(Repeat and fade)
