LAY DOWN
Of a Revolution (O.A.R) Lyrics

There was a time now it's far away
In the past, there was a moment that is now long gone

I didn't know you, but I knew your name
Despite not having met before, I was familiar with your name

We would talk, I got nothing to say
Despite conversations, I struggled to come up with anything worthwhile to say

But hear me now
Pay attention to me in this moment

You're like an angel that is just for me
You are a special and divine presence meant solely for me

Bless your heart, let your mind go free
May your heart be pure, and your thoughts unencumbered

And it's too loud on the Earth today
The noise and chaos of the world is overwhelming

So let's go home and lay down
Let's retreat to a quiet, peaceful place where we can rest

And rest here in my arms
Find comfort and safety in my embrace

Catch a teardrop, bleed the heart
Feel emotions deeply and without reservation

Masquerade in a world apart
Put on a façade and pretend to be someone else in a different world

From a mass I got more to lose
As an individual, I have much more to lose than as part of a group

I'm making a run
I'm making a break from the norm

Catch a dream, there's a lot to see
Pursue your aspirations and explore life's possibilities

I never seen nobody move the way you do
I've never witnessed someone move in the manner that you do

Rocking steady and you know it too
You maintain a strong, stable presence and are aware of it

You had to come down from heaven above
You are so special and otherworldly that you must have descended from heaven itself

And tease the world
You delight in teasing and taunting the world

So listen good, cause I'm telling it straight
Pay close attention, as I speak the truth plainly

I don't got no more time to waste
I don't have any more time to squander

I got a trip planned past the sun
I have a journey planned that will take us beyond the sun

Taking you home
Taking you to a place that feels like home

Oh, now I see
I have gained new insight and understanding

I bought a planet for you
I have purchased a planet for you as a gift

I planned it for you my dear
I tailored this planet just for you, my love

There's no one above you
You are incomparable and beyond compare

I purchased a room with a view
I have procured a room with a gorgeous view as part of your gift

So we could fly away to outer space
We can escape to the vastness of outer space

We'll be alone just us two
We'll have each other's company and no one else's

And you know it's all for you
All of it is for your sake and happiness

Lay down
Relax and let go

The universe is ours
We own and control the universe
