“Lay Me Down”
By Pixie Lott
You see me howling at the moon
It’s what you taught me to do
I’m chasing stars
Just to get back closer to you
You see the ashes by the fire
The only life that I knew
I touched the flame
Just to get back closer to you
Chorus
Show me the way
I done travelled too long
With a cross on my back
And a hole in my heart
Now you say
There’s no love to be found
When six feet down
And a thought that made me closer to you
Why don’t you lay me down
Lay me down lay me down
Won’t you lay me down
Lay me down lay me down
Closer to you
You hear me beating at the door
What else you want me to do
You got me crawling up the walls
To get closer to you
(Chorus)
