Lay Down Lyrics by Joshua J

1998

2019

[Verse 1]
Let me lay down first
Why you getting on my nerves?
I kill it but i don’t rehearse
Go from bad to worse
End up sad and hurt
Know this shit don’t work
I break bread, drink wine i don’t go to church
You call my phone and i’d be so alert
You hate my nappy fro you let my comb emerge
Save me reasons give me no excuses
Everything you say it don’t amuse me
Come over to me
Why you don’t believe
Why you don’t agree
Tired of running away
Please take the locks off the cage
I don’t belong in your ways
I should move on everyday
[Pre Hook 1] (Gaidaa)
You ain’t trying
I ain’t lying
Come closer to me darling
I got what you need charming
Your face your voice so calming
Makes things easier for me
Nothing to lose by taking a chance
Nothing to lose by taking my hand
[Hook 1]
You don’t wanna lay down, no
I just wanna fade out, oh
Tell me you’re okay now
Can’t be running late now
You don’t wanna lay down
[Verse 2] (Gaidaa)
You’ve gotta lay down
Gotta learn to breathe
Learn to let things be
And we can be so full of doubt
Why don’t you believe
Trust our energy
I follow you
Into the dark
I promise
I’ll tell the truth
That’s nothing new
So why can’t you be honest
Under your spell
Try to rebel
I’m falling
Oh can’t you tell
I’m not doing well
[Bridge] (Gaidaa & Joshua J)
You got what i need
We got Chemistry
Don't pretend to be
Something you don't feel
Know that shit ain't real
Don't put on a shield
[Hook 2]
You don’t wanna lay down, no
I just wanna fade out, oh
Tell me you’re okay now
Can’t be running late now
You don’t wanna lay down
