Lay My Head Down Songtext / Lyric

Ohh, the party's kicked up a few notches

Look at us getting loose

She leans back against the wall and she watches

Tugging her collar like it might be a noose



And everyones tied to their thing

To their past or their drink

Or the date that they bring

I just get tired all of sudden taking it in



And I want to lay my head down on you

Because you're the only solid thing in this room

A room full of changes, strangers, illusion, confusion

I speak from my heart but I'm not really sure if it's true

I wanna lay my head down on you



Ohh, consider waste, too much time planning

Or you'll get the rug ripped out

And the only way you'll be satisfied

Is learning to live without






But some plan for the kingdom of heaven

And some take their chances and bet lucky seven

I don't know what to believe

I just show up and breathe anymore



And I wanna lay my head down on you

Because you're the only solid thing in this room

A room full of dressers, professors, lookers, hookers

If I don't get out, I'll do something I don't wanna do

And I wanna lay my head down on you



Was it so long ago

That we sat and talked in your car?

Your things were all packed

And the place you were headed, not really that far



Years later I think

That I would have been much more alive

To have taken you up on your offer

And taken that drive



Ohh, well, everything that's come before us

Leads us to where we are now

And thats simple, I know so why can't I let go of the feeling

That I'm lost somehow



I'm just a ghost looking in

Out of my own life just visiting

In search of a body to have

And to hold and to keep and to sleep



I wanna lay my head down on you

Because you're the only solid thing in this room

A room full of missed chance, slow dance, cold fate, heartache

I showed up for a party and saw my life story full view

And I wanna lay my head down on you
