I Am Easy to Find Lyrics

[Verse 1: Matt Berninger & Kate Stables]
How long have we been here?
Am I ever coming down?
I need to find some lower thinking, if I'm going to stick around
I'm not going anywhere
Who do I think I'm kidding?
I'm still standing in the same place where you left me standing

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Kate Stables]
I am easy to find

[Verse 2: Matt Berninger & Kate Stables]
"Towers to the skies, an academy of lies"
You never were much of a New Yorker
It wasn't in your eyes
If you ever come around this way again
You'll see me standing in the sunlight
In the middle of the street

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Kate Stables]
I am easy to find
I am easy to find

[Bridge: Matt Berninger & Kate Stables]
There's a million little battles that I'm never gonna win anyway
I'm still waiting for you every night with ticker tape, ticker tape
There's a million little battles that I'm never gonna win anyway
I'm still waiting for you every night with ticker tape, ticker tape

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Kate Stables]
I am easy to find
I am easy to find

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for I Am Easy to Find lyrics by National, The

This is my favorite National song. I listen to it on repeat and imagine myself sitting on the porch on an east coast night. The two people are separately thinking about their commitment to a relationship and how much they are giving despite continued misunderstandings. Whenever they're singing at the same time I imagine them having these thoughts separately not understanding that the other person is feeling the same way. And that they've given up but that they're "easy" to understand and will be there when the other person comes to reason. I love songs with two parts, I love that this song has a split. And the harmonizing. It's very simple.
