Easy Way Out - Gotye

Seventeen seconds and I'm over it

Ready for the disconnect

Putting on a brave face

Trying not to listen

To the voices in the back of my head

But it's alright now

(It's a distant memory baby)

Alright now

(You know you should just let it go)

Some feelings have a habit of persisting

Even though you wouldn't let it show

Wearing me out

(All this)

Hanging around

(It just starts)

Getting me down

('Til I'm just)

Looking for an easy way out

Brain-dead from boredom

I'm led to distraction

Scratching the surface of life

Nothing really happens

But it's easy to keep busy

When you tell yourself you're traveling right

But it's alright now

(Was it really worth it baby?)

Alright now

(Was it just a waste of time?)

Keep on second-guessing

Use my memory like a weapon

On everything I try

Wearing me out

(All this)

Hanging around

(It just starts)

Getting me down

('Til I'm just)

Looking for an easy way out

Wearing me out

(But it's alright now)

Hanging around

(Alright now)

Getting me down

(But it's alright now)

Looking for an easy way out
