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
