Na zeker nog een uur of twee te hebben gelopen over het strand, vertrekken we weer terug richting huis en lopen we richting de auto. Tot nu toe heeft niemand iets nog gezegd. Ik word gek van die stilte en dan komen we aan bij onze auto. Snel stap ik in en mijn ouders volgen mijn voorbeeld.

'Mam, wil je de album CALM van 5sos erin doen?' vraag ik met puppy ogen.

Ik hoor haar zuchten, maar doet dan toch wat ik aan haar vroeg. Dan bedenk ik me, dat ik het liefst Easier wil luisteren.

'Mam, wil je hem 3 nummers verder zetten?' vraag ik aan mijn moeder, maar ze doet het maar om mij blij te maken.

Gelijk hoor ik het nummer en ik begin mee te zingen.

Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change

And you know you don't want it any other way

Why do we always gotta run away?

And we wind up in the same place

It's like we're looking for the same thing

Same thing, yeah

Yeah, do we really gotta do this now?

Right here with all your friends around

In the morning, we can work it out

Work it out

I love you so much that I hate you

Right now, it's so hard to blame you

'Cause you're so damn beautiful

You're so damn beautiful

Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change

And you know that you're always gonna stay the same

Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change

And you know you don't want it any other way

Every time that you say you're gonna leave

That's when you get the very best of me

You know we need it like the air we breathe

Air we breathe, yeah

I love you so much that I hate you (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Right now, it's so hard to blame you (oh)

'Cause you're so damn beautiful (oh)

You're so damn beautiful (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change

And you know that you're always gonna stay the same

Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh (I don't wanna know)

But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change

And you know you don't want it any other way

The hardest part of all

(Da-da-da-dum-da-da)

Is that we're only built to fall

(Is it any easier?)

Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh (oh-oh)

But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change

And you know that you're always gonna stay the same (is it easier?)

Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go? (Yeah)

I don't wanna know, oh (oh)

But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change

And you know you don't want it any other way

I love you so much that I hate you (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Right now, it's so hard to blame you

'Cause you're so damn beautiful

Dan stopt mijn vader en de muziek stopt gelijk ook vrij daarna.

'Hey, waarom stopt de muziek nou?' roep ik verbaasd uit.

'Omdat we er al zijn.' zegt mijn moeder en met een zucht stap ik uit en loop het huis binnen. Ouders!
