Lay Me Down
John Saga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
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?
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy
You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you
You
The lyrics of John Saga's song "Lay Me Down" express the deep emotions of someone who is missing a loved one. The singer starts off by stating that he believes that he will be with the person he misses one day, but for now, he is struggling with the darkness and loneliness of his days. The imagery of the moon and stars being "nothing without you" speaks to the emptiness and absence of the loved one.
The singer then goes on to describe the physical sensations of missing someone, the touch of their skin and the way it's hard to express the depth of those emotions with words. He seems to be in denial of the pain he feels, wanting to suppress his tears, but ultimately they tell their own story. The chorus then repeats the desire to be next to the loved one, to take care of them, and to not want to be anywhere else if they can't be together.
The verse following the chorus has the singer reaching out to the person he misses, asking if they can hear his call. He describes the emotional pain he's been through and the intense feeling of missing the person "like crazy." The chorus repeats, with the singer asking to be laid down next to the loved one, to be able to take care of them and to not want to be anywhere else if they can't be together.
Overall, the lyrics convey the deep emotional pain of missing someone, the desire to be near them, and the willingness to take care of them. It's a song that speaks to the universal experience of longing for someone, whether it's an ex-partner, a friend who has moved away, or a family member who has passed away.
