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
 And I wanna lay my head down on you.
 Enjoy!

Oh dont waste too much time planning

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

And I wanna lay my head down on you.

Enjoy!
