Lay Me Down

Every time these wheels slow down, yeah, I can feel the weight
Baby, I can’t wait to lay this burden down
The grey and steel and golden grain and neon miles
Wash into the sea without a sound
A grain of sand caught in the tide
I’m torn between the earth and sky
I fight to get my feet back on the ground
Comes you, my love, to

Ch: Lay me down, strip away
All the remnants of this day
Wash the fight from my skin
Let the silence fold me in
‘Til I hear nothing but the sound of your breath on me
Lay me down

Sometimes I think this world just wants a piece of me
Baby, all of me wants peace in me right now
Your nestled heart and open eyes and easy smile
Wrap me in the only peace I’ve found
My hardness breaks beneath your touch
So few words can mean so much
I try to speak, but I can’t make a sound
Comes you, my love, to

Ch:
