Going back to the influences of Switchfoot and beliefs in destiny comes this more optimistic song than ‘The average life…’. Unlike another love song about a boy in love with a girl ‘This is how life should be easy’ deals with the concept that love is a universal cure for making everyone in the world united in happiness. This idea can equally be seen in Switchfoot songs such as ‘We Are One Tonight’ from the album Nothing is Sound.
Switchfoot – ‘We Are One Tonight’
This is how life should be easy
When I wake up with you it’s like I’m still dreaming
Anything can happen when I’m lying next to you
Every time you touch me I have this wonderful feeling
Because I know this is reality, it’s true
Chance didn’t open my eyes
I saw the beauty in front of me
And heard your sweet voice that comforts me now
Like a drum of destiny
Take me down to the sea and we’ll play in the sand
All my problems are gone when you around
You complete my world with the touch of your hand
For once I was lost and now I am found
Close your eyes and use your imagination
To dream of a more peaceful nation
This is how life should be easy
You make me believe that it’s true
The sand washes over my feet
And the sun gleams in my squinting eyes
As I feel the crisp cold of the tide
Now I’m finally glad I made up my mind
