Lay Me Down
Carson Shmyr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every sidewalk I walk feels a little bit longer
When I'm not walking it with you
It's like shadows just get deeper
The second your sunshine isn't there
I find myself drowning in the darkness
Longing for a little love to harness

So won't you lay me down
Hold my heart even tighter
I need your company now more than ever
If you could just lay me down

And when you smile
It's like the universe stops for a second
To remember how to breathe
And underneath the sheets
We find our peace, our sunrise, our garden of Eden
Cause even, as you go to leave
You can't help but come back and kiss me

And I know it's so hard for you to leave me
Trust me I'm staring at you and I see
Everything I need

So won't you lay me down
Hold my heart even tighter
I need your company now more than ever
If you could just lay me down

Cause my love you're the answer
To every question that I've wondered
You're everything I've ever wanted
And so much more
And may the vows I whisper one day
Act as all the proof
I hope you know
That I would live for you

Lost but found
I've been up and down this ride before
And never have I fallen like I did
You have this quality in you
That I can't place
So let me say

Lay me down
Hold my heart even tighter
I need your company now and forever
If you could just lay me down
Oh I promise that I can be better




I can mix and match my ways to fit you
If you'll just stay with me
