Lay me Down
Goods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starts a burnin' fire inside of me
She knows how to take the heat
How to take the heat away from me
When I need it
When I need it
When I need it
When I need it
When I need it
When I need it
She's there to cool me down
She knows when I've had too much
Still the devil's hand is tempting me
She knows how to speak to me and tell me
You know some things are not worth the trouble
When I need it
When I need it
She's there to cool me down
When I need it
When I need it
When I need it
She's there to cool me down
And it feels like
She knows when I'm feelin' like
My world is at a desperate end
She knows how to comfort me
She is there for me
She points me toward another day
When I need it
When I need it
She's there to cool me down
When I need it
When I need it
When I need it
She's there to cool me down
She cool me down
She cool me down
She cool me down
In "Lay Me Down," Good sings about a woman who knows how to calm and soothe him when he's feeling overwhelmed. The song is an ode to the power of love and companionship in keeping us centered and grounded when life feels out of control. The first verse sets the scene for the rest of the song, as Good describes how the woman in question has a sixth sense for when he's struggling. She's able to quell the "burning fire" that he feels inside and "take the heat" away from him.
As the song progresses, Good goes on to describe how his partner is able to keep him on the right path, even when he's being tempted by "the devil's hand." She knows how to "speak to him" and remind him that some things aren't worth the trouble. When he feels like his world is falling apart and he's at the "desperate end," she's there to comfort him and point him toward another day.
Throughout the song, the refrain repeats the same simple, reassuring message: "when I need it, she's there to cool me down." The repeated phrase emphasizes the idea that love is a constant source of support and comfort, something we can rely on even when everything else feels uncertain.
Overall, "Lay Me Down" is a deeply personal and heartfelt song about the importance of having someone to lean on when we're feeling overwhelmed. It's a reminder that, no matter how difficult things may seem, we're never truly alone.

Lay Me Down Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, and the stars are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain the way I'm missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside
These tears, they tell their own story
[Pre-Chorus]
Told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong
[Chorus]
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you?
And make sure you're all right
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
[Verse 2]
I'm reaching out to you
Can you hear my call?
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong
[Chorus]
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you?
And make sure you're all right
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
[Bridge]
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
[Outro]
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you?
