Easy Way Out lyrics

[Orlando]
{Spoken}
This morning I said hello, she said hello, and then I did something dumb

[Rosalind]
{Spoken}
Yeah you did

[Orlando]
{Spoken}
I’m sorry, okay, I told you I get stupid around her
Why do you think it took me three years to finally talk to her?

[Rosalind]
{Spoken}
Three years? You wanted to talk to her before?

[Orlando]
{Spoken}
Yeah. It was freshman assembly, next row over
{Sung}
There’s a pretty girl as lost as me
So much in common, gotta find the right words
Then the bell rings, what will it be?
We both get up, my teeth are numb, my throat is dry, I’m feeling dumb, she passes by, she gets away
[Rosalind]
The moment disappears

[Orlando]
She gone I have no fears, I convince myself she someone great
Who I can live without

[Rosalind]
You took the easy way out

[Orlando]
Yeah, it’s easy not to feel excited
Easy not to get turned down
Easy not to let on how you're shy
But then I, I
Was a sophomore in English, next row over

[Rosalind]
There’s your pretty girl I bet she’s bright

[Orlando]
Wanna ask her to study with me
Then the bell rings its fight or flight

[Rosalind]
She takes her time to pack her bag
[Orlando]
My legs don’t budge my feet they drag
She passes by she gets away

[Rosalind]
She had a Spanish test that day

[Orlando]
{Spoken}
How did you know that?

[Rosalind]
{Spoken}
Oh I know her type
{Sung}
She leaves you there

[Orlando]
I can feel my feet again, I decide if I forget her I’m better off

[Rosalind]
{Spoken}
No doubt
{Sung}
Yeah that’s the easy way out
[Rosalind & Orlando]
Cause it’s easy

[Orlando]
Not to feel the pressure

[Rosalind & Orlando]
Easy

[Rosalind]
Not to risk and lose

[Rosalind & Orlando]
Easy not to feel you’re going to die, but it’s hard as hell to watch a chance go by so you got to take it easy

[Orlando]
And try
And try
And try

Junior bake sale at the table, the sweetest girl is selling cake
Got my dollar and I got up my nerve
I’m finally getting closer and even though my legs shake
I know I have the right words I feel like I could shout
Now we’re standing nose to nose
She turns her head and goes
She turns her head and goes
She turns her head ----
She turns her head ----
I’m a fool my heart is racing, what was that about?

[Rosalind]
She took the easy way out
