Lay Me Down

[Verse 1]
You see me howling at the moon
It's what you taught me to do, mmm
I'm chasing stars just to get back closer to you
You see the ashes by the fire (Fire)
The only life that I knew, mmm
I touched the flame just to get back closer to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Show me the way, I've done traveling too far
With a cross on my back and a hole in my heart
Now you say there's no love to be found
When I'm six feet down and I thought that'd make me closer to you

[Chorus]
Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?
Won't you lay me down, lay me down closer to you? (Lay me down)
Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?
Won't you lay me down, lay me down closer to you? (Lay me down)

[Verse 2]
You hear me beating at the door
What else you want me to do?
Ooh, you got me crawling up the walls to get closer to you (Yes, you do)

[Pre-Chorus]
Show me the way, I've done traveling too far
With a cross on my back and a hole in my heart
Now you say there's no love to be found
When I'm six feet down and I thought that'd make me closer to you

[Chorus]
Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?
Won't you lay me down, lay me down closer to you? (Lay me down)
Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?
Won't you lay me down, lay me down closer to you? (Lay me down)

[Post-Chorus]
Closer to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Show me the way, I've done traveling too far
With a cross on my back and a hole in my heart
Now you say there's no love to be found
When I'm six feet down and I thought that'd make me closer to you
(Closer, closer) Closer to you
Closer to you

[Chorus]
Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?
Won't you lay me down, lay me down closer to you?
Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?
Won't you lay me down, lay me down closer to you?
Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?
Won't you lay me down, lay me down closer to you?
Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?
Won't you lay me down, lay me down closer to you?
