Lay it on the Line
You sing a love song
I'll sing the blues
Nothing can go wrong
With nothing to lose
No-one to hold as time stands still
No-one to prove that you still feel
But they come around
Every once in a very long time
And you come around
It's like I've known you
As long as time
I opened my mouth
You stole my line
Why'd you show up? I was doing fine
Would've turned away
If I could turn back time
But I can't change, we're here
Lay it on the line
'Cause when your heart starts aching
And then your knees start shaking
You know there's no mistaking
It's gonna take you down
'Cause when your heart starts aching
And then your knees start shaking
You know there's no mistaking
It's gonna take you down
It'll take you down
I start to stammer
You are to blame
Your words are perfect
That I ain't
Why'd you show up? I was doing fine
Would've turned away
If I could turn back time
If I could change
Well
You could change my mind
Lay it on the line
Will you be alright?
When your heart starts aching
And then your knees start shaking
You know there's no mistaking
It's gonna take you down
'Cause when your heart starts aching
And then your knees start shaking
You know there's no mistaking
It's gonna take you down
'Cause when your heart starts aching
And then your knees start shaking
You know there's no mistaking
It's gonna take you down
I'll sing the blues
Nothing can go wrong
With nothing to lose
No-one to hold as time stands still
No-one to prove that you still feel
But they come around
Every once in a very long time
And you come around
It's like I've known you
As long as time
I opened my mouth
You stole my line
Why'd you show up? I was doing fine
Would've turned away
If I could turn back time
But I can't change, we're here
Lay it on the line
'Cause when your heart starts aching
And then your knees start shaking
You know there's no mistaking
It's gonna take you down
'Cause when your heart starts aching
And then your knees start shaking
You know there's no mistaking
It's gonna take you down
It'll take you down
I start to stammer
You are to blame
Your words are perfect
That I ain't
Why'd you show up? I was doing fine
Would've turned away
If I could turn back time
If I could change
Well
You could change my mind
Lay it on the line
Will you be alright?
When your heart starts aching
And then your knees start shaking
You know there's no mistaking
It's gonna take you down
'Cause when your heart starts aching
And then your knees start shaking
You know there's no mistaking
It's gonna take you down
'Cause when your heart starts aching
And then your knees start shaking
You know there's no mistaking
It's gonna take you down
