You see me howling at the moon

It's what you taught me to do, hmm

I'm chasing stars just to get back closer to you.

You see the ashes by the fire

The only light that I knew, hmm

I touched a flame just to get back closer to you.

Show me the way

I done travelled too far

With a cross on my back

And a hole in my heart.

Now you say

There's no love to be found

Went six feet down

And I 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 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 closer to you?

You hear me beating at the door

What else you want me to do? oh

You got me crawling up the walls to get closer to you.

Show me the way

I done travelled too far

With a cross on my back

And a hole in my heart.

Now you say

There's no love to be found

Went six feet down

And I 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 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 closer to you?

Closer to you.

Show me the way

I done travelled too far

With a cross on my back

And a hole in my heart.

Now you say

There's no love to be found

Went six feet down

And I thought that made me closer to you.

Closer to you

Yeah...

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 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 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 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 closer to you?
