Lay Low
My Morning Jacket Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay back awhile and I'll show ya
I got the good that you want
No need to go and hunt something else
It's right here with me when you stay
Its always good when I get to see
That there's never more than what you're telling me
When you stay, home
Lay low if the feel is right
I got all that I want here in you tonight
And we'll pass out on the bedroom floor
After goin' like this so long
Hold up, you showed me
Oh what you told me
Its not what you want but what you need
Its not a head full of pills or amphetamines, when you stay
Its always good when I get to see
That there's never more
Than what you're telling me when you stay, home
Lay low if the feel is right
I got all that I want here in you tonight
And we'll pass out on the bedroom floor
After goin' like this so long
Lay low if the feel is right
I got all that I want here in you tonight
And we'll pass out on the bedroom floor
After goin' full tilt so long
The song "Lay Low" by My Morning Jacket is a mellow, introspective track that seems to be about appreciating and cherishing a moment of quiet intimacy with a loved one. The verses are addressed to the unnamed "you" in the song, urging them to "lay low" and stay with the singer rather than seeking something else. The lyrics suggest that the singer has everything they need in this moment, and that the simplicity and closeness they share is more valuable than any external distractions or excitement. The chorus repeats the "lay low if the feel is right" refrain, imbuing the song with a sense of peacefulness and contentment.

So it's good when I get to see that there's

Lay low if the feel is right, I got all that I want here in you tonite and we'll
pass out on the bedroom floor after goin like this so long.
Will you stay?
Hold up, you showed me.
Oh what you told me, it's not what you want but what you need it's not
a head full of booze or amphetamines, when you stay.
It's always good when I get to see that there's
never more than what you're telling me
when you stay home.
Lay low if the feel is right, I got all that I want in you tonite and we'll
pass out on the bedroom floor after goin like this so long.
Lay low, let the fetus rock, I got all that I want in you tonite and we'll
pass out on the bedroom floor after goin full tilt so long.

I'm 17 years old, and I discovered this band thanks to American Dad 1/2 years ago.. (unfortunately not by an other way... In France, its hard to discover new bands excpet by going to concerts, or listening to the ONLY rock radio.. Yeah only 1 radio plays rock in this country, what a shame..) I'm happy I discovered this GREAT band, their music is full of emotions and sincerity.. It's impossible to describe the feeling their songs give us.. Just have to close your eyes, focus on the music and go
@june8898
Elbarenev this is music to my ears that such a young person is loving this band...✨

Halfway to 30 now bud. Still announcing your age when finding new music? Haha

@@aaronb2402 Oh wow, what a burst of CRINGENESS you're giving me here, buddy 😆 I was such an attention seeker :')
@aaronb2402
@@elbarenev_ I was just giving ya a hard time. Being young it was a universal feeling to assume we were unique for listening to certain music. Luckily the song still rocks. Keep rockin stranger!

I've been listening to music for over 15 years. I've gone through most of the Metal, Rock, most off-shoots of alternative and experimental Rock, Hip Hop and RnB music out there (British and American). I've also been familiar with My Morning Jacket for years...
And yet this song, when I came across it 3 months ago, captivated the fuck out of me, and I can't let it go. The last 2 minutes are a euphoric paradise for the ears. So so moving, my God.
