[Verse 1]
It's easier to breathe
It's easier to get up off my knees
Care about the food between my teeth
When she's beside me
It's easier to laugh
Care about the dripping of our tap
Come to terms with the day I had
When she's beside me

[Chorus]
Still I said go
Do what you have to
As long as you're back soon
Do what you have to

[Verse 2]
It's easier to list
Things I often keep behind my lips
Like talk about the mother that I miss
When she's beside me
It's easier to wait
Here beside the son that we both raised
And stand before another day
And wish it was another day
Where you were here and I knew you were safe
[Chorus]
Still I said go
Do what you have to
As long as you're back soon
Do what you have to

[Bridge]
Four years in one
Five years have passed though
Six years of love
No proof of that though
Seven and eight, who do I pay
To take all my memories and throw them away?
Four years in one
Five years have passed though
Six years of love
No proof of that though
Seven and eight, who do I pay
To take all my memories and throw them away?

[Outro]
So do what you have to
As long as you're back soon
Do what you have to
