Lay Your Body Down

I've spent my life waiting

For that famous final scene

I believe you know the one--

When she falls in love with me



As for you, you've been fakin' your smile

Fillin' your time

on small talk

And cheap wine

Knowing in your heart there was someplace

That you'd rather be



So right or wrong,

I wrote you this song

To tell you how I feel



Don't put up no fight

You just turn off the lights

Walk over here to me



Chorus:

And lay your body down on me

Down on me tonight, oh yeah

Oh, let your tears fall down on me

Down on me tonight, oh yeah



As for me I've lied to, denied to

fight with, and tried to

apologize for all my ways

To all the women who were fool enough to fall

in love with me



You played your role

like a movie

Got your lines for who is,

who was, who would be

Somehow you lost track

While real love slipped away, yeah



So for tonight, just turn off the lights

And let those real feelings show

There's no wrong or right

but until you try

you're never gonna know



Chorus



Before you was mine

I was so lonely

Ain't it a shame

Your heart must feel pain

before you get back on your feet again



Solo



So let's draw the blinds

Forget wasted time

And let them old demons die

Take ahold of my hand

Then you'd understand

Why love's worth one more try



Chorus out
