Lay Down
He watches himself walk into the west
The labels have overcome
But to be what he thinks that he knows that is best
He's going to have to run
He strums away an old guitar
Don't care that it's out of tune
Sometimes he can shine like a yellowy star
Sometimes he is dead as the moon
The poets lay words that weigh down my mind
The singers they leave me deaf
I can see so much now but my eyes have gone blind
I wonder what else is left
Now the game is wide open
You open your eyes and wake up next to someone else
And it stops you from breathing
Must be why you get so blue
Still you can't help but worry
'bout how soon you'll hurry
To let it all go again
And who you're deceiving
Is it me or you?
I love you for all of the wrong that I've done
And all of the good that I do
I can be anything but not anyone
And not 'cause you tell me to
The labels have overcome
But to be what he thinks that he knows that is best
He's going to have to run
He strums away an old guitar
Don't care that it's out of tune
Sometimes he can shine like a yellowy star
Sometimes he is dead as the moon
The poets lay words that weigh down my mind
The singers they leave me deaf
I can see so much now but my eyes have gone blind
I wonder what else is left
Now the game is wide open
You open your eyes and wake up next to someone else
And it stops you from breathing
Must be why you get so blue
Still you can't help but worry
'bout how soon you'll hurry
To let it all go again
And who you're deceiving
Is it me or you?
I love you for all of the wrong that I've done
And all of the good that I do
I can be anything but not anyone
And not 'cause you tell me to
