Description
A song about my childhood in a town at the western coast of Sweden. It was such a small and protected world to grow up in. But it's also a song about the feeling that all is so complicated when you're small, but since you don't have much of a reference you don't know how great your life is and how small the worries truly are. Everything gets more complicated later on when you get thrown into the life of grown-ups, build a family and raise children. But still it's the happiest time of your life.
Lyrics
Easier Before In a heartbeat it is gone life has taken what is hers and I suddenly think about the time that passed by while I dreamt Like when I was a child and went around and sold papers down to the harbor and then outside of town While the wind and cold hurt my face all I could think of was what I saved to All was easier before In a heartbeat it is lost All the passes that never found their way On the field where I have worn At least a dozen shoes or more It won’t be like before when I think about the first time my heart was torn into pieces I thought that life would end I was only eight and felt there was no chance I could ever love someone else like that It was so fragile before In a heartbeat it has turned The winds of life change, and find their way back to the east Like my childhoods winds were like By the beach where I grew up where I took my first own little swimming strokes that would take me to what I now become It’s so hard to imagine that all those things makes me to the one who I am today yeah it was easier before
