Lay Your Body Down

(album: Crack A Smile... And More! - 2000)

I spent my life waiting
For that famous final scene
I believe you know the one
Where she falls in love with me

As for you,
You've been faking your smile
Filling your time on small talk and cheap wine
Knowing in your heart
There was someplace you'd rather be

So right or wrong
I wrote you this song
To tell you how's I feel
Don't put up no fight
You just turn on the lights
Walk over here to me

[Chorus]
Lay your body down on me
Down on me, tonight, oh yeah
Let your tears fall down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah

As for me,
I've lied, denied to,
fight with and tried to
Apologize for all my ways
To all the women
Yet they're fool enough to fall in love with me

You played your role, like a movie
Forgot your lines, who is, who was, who would be
Somehow you lost track while real love slipped away

So for tonight, lets turn off the lights
And let those real feelings show
There's no wrong or right, but until you try
You're never gonna know

[Chorus]

Before you was mine
I was so lonely
Ain't it a shame,
That I must feel pain
Before you can get back on your feet again

So lets draw the blind
Forget wasted time
Let them old demons die
Take a hold of my hand
And you'll understand
Why love's worth one more try
