Theme The theme for Easy Love would be everlasting love, love and sacrifice, and unconditional love

Opinion Statement Today I am here to convince that Easy Love is a meaningful song and can make you really think about what a true relationship should be like

Stanza #1 You got a way of makin' me feel insane Like I can't trust my own brain Unless it's screaming your name I'd have it no other way And maybe that's why I stay How many times can we pick up the same fight? Can we keep screaming all night And make up until it's light? That's when I say that you're right And feel your body on mine Oh maybe that's why I stay easy love is about surrendering to insanity in a relationship, being in this relationship is making him go crazy but he’s okay with it

Stanza #2 I could be somewhere chillin' on the beach I could be with someone makin' me happy But that would be too easy, love And I don't want no easy love I could put my phone down, just pick up my keys I could let you go, and we could let it be Someone who never argues with me or tells me when i’m wrong… Of course, we have this idea of happiness being getting everything we ever wanted, but is that really happiness? He can be in an easy relationship which he doesn’t want. He prefer to work for his relationship and his girlfriend. Otherwise it would be an easy love But that would be too easy, love And I don't want no easy love We’re so used to letting go of something the second we realize it’s not so perfect and it might take a little work. We’re used to taking the easy way out.

Stanza #3 Keep comin' back, guess you could say I'm attached Last time we called it a wrap, I came beggin' and all that You're like a habit, it's bad I got a habit, it's bad Oh no, I'm not even mad He tried to let her go but realized life sucks without her

Conclusion In conclusion, I believe Lauv’s song “Easy Love” is a good song about having unconditional love and it makes you realize that a relationship isn’t always easy and perfect, you’re going to argue and fight, but that’s what a relationship is about, relationships has its ups and downs.
