[Verse 1]
I'm so gone
Anyone could see that I'm wasted
You cut through
And I just wanna know what's in your head
Write it on a piece of paper, honey, mmm
Put it in my coat before I go
Hidden in a place you know I'll find it, oh ohh
Later when I'm sitting all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me in
Everything starts at your skin, so new
Your love's always finding me out
Who am I kidding?
If all my defences come down, oh baby
[Chorus]
Will you lay it all on me now?
Lay it all on me now
Lay it all on me now
Lay it all on me now
[Verse 2]
Snow comes down
Everything is new
And different
I found you
Hidden in plain sight
Why'd I take so long?
Write it on a piece of paper, honey, mmm
Put it in my coat before I go
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me in
Everything starts at your skin, so new
Your love's always finding me out
Who am I kidding?
If all my defences come down, oh baby, yeah
[Chorus]
Will you lay it all on me now?
Lay it all on me now
Lay it all on me now
Lay it all on me now
Lay it all on me now
[Interlude]
Ohh oh ohh
Ohh oh ohh
Ohh oh ohh
Ohh oh ohh
[Pre-Chorus]
Your love's always finding me out
Who am I kidding?
If all my defences come down
Oh baby, babe
[Chorus]
Will you lay it all on me now?
Lay it all on me now
Lay it all on me now
Lay it all on me now
Lay it all on me now

I had this guitar riff I had been playing for ages but had never found a home for. When it was glued together with a lyric I had in my phone, ‘everything starts at your skin,’ the song started to make sense
It was great to be able to play it on television, I’m a fan of Jimmy Kimmel’s show. It’s a fun song to play, it’s got a horn section, it’s kind of upbeat. I wrote it in Malibu. I worked with a guy called Dave Basset, who’s a really great songwriter and a really great guy. I went into the songwriting...
