Quick, Painless, And Easy Lyrics

Anyway, you will take what you need.
Anyway, you will take it from me.
Straight, straight, straight to the ledge.
Loose yourself in the sound.
Look out over the edge.
I know how you'll go down.
Anyway, you will get what you want.
Why should I wait for that day to come?
Straight, straight, straight to the ledge.
One last smile and you're gone.
Step out over the edge
as if nothing is wrong.

It will be quick and painless and easy.
Quick and painless and easy.
I don't want you to leave me
but you'll go anyway.

Straight, straight, straight to the ledge.
Loose yourself in the sound.
Look out over the edge.
I know how you'll go down.

It will be quick and painless and easy.
Quick and painless and easy.
I don't want you to leave me
but you'll go anyway.

Anyway...
Anyway...

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.

I don't really feel a specific meaning in this song but it's really very wonderfullly writen and about anticipated loss, the kind that you have when you enter a relationship that will end and you know you will feel it.
