Oh the party's kicked up a few notches look at us getting loose
|
She leans back against the wall and she watches tugging her collar like it might
|
be a noose.
|
|
And everyones tied to their thing
|
To their past or their drink or the date that they bring
|
I just get tired all of sudden taking it in.
|
|
And I want to lay my head down on you
|
|
Because youre the only solid thing in this room
|
|
A room full of changes strangers illusion confusion,
|
I speak from my heart but im not really sure if its true.
|
I wanna lay my head down on you.
|
|
Oh dont waste too much time planning
|
Or you'll get rug ripped out
|
And the only way you'll be satisfied
|
Is learning to live with out.
|
But some plan for the kingdom of heaven
|
And some take their chances and bet lucky seven
|
I don't know what to believe I just show up and breathe anymore.
|
|
And I wanna lay my head down on you
|
Because youre the only solid thing in this room
|
|
A room full of dressers, professors, lookers, hookers
|
If I don't get out I'll do something I don't wanna do.
|
|
And I wanna lay my head down on you.
|
|
Was it so long ago
|
That we sat and talked in your car
|
Your things were all packed
|
And the place you were headed not really that far
|
Years later I think
|
That I would have been much more alive
|
To have taken you up on your offer and taken that drive
|
|
Well everything that's come before us leads us to where we are now
|
And thats simple, I know so why cant I let go of the feeling
|
That im lost somehow
|
I'm just a ghost looking in
|
Out of my own life just visiting
|
In search of a body to have and to hold and to keep and to sleep.
|
|
I wanna lay my head down on you
|
Because youre the only solid thing in this room
|
A room full of missed chance, slow dance, cold fate heartache
|
I showed up for a party and saw my life story full view
|
