Lay me Down
Goods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She knows when the Devil
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
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 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

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?

Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side

Can I lay by your side, next to you? You
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
I'm reaching out to you
Can you hear my call, boy?
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you, I'm missing you like crazy, you
Can I lay by your side? Next to you, to you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
Oh, lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side, whoa
Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Can I lay by your side? Next to you, you
