Lay By Lyrics by Toby Johnson

Fox EP

0

[Verse 1]
The grass on the other side
Is whatever color you want to paint it
Try your best not to lie
You'll be forced to fake it
And I lie all the time
To your face only sometimes
And when you're away, I lose my mind
A replacement I can't find
And when you're here with me it's a reminder I'm alive
That's exactly what I need

[Verse 2]
Need some space around my heart for the whole you tried to open
And I understand your actions
But this is a crazy way of coping
And I've seen that face before
When I've ever loved there came a wall
It's a feeling I can't explain
When the floor absorbs the pain
And the warts around your eyes
With no make-up to disguise your face
Where there's a will there's a way

[Chorus]
While you were up all night
I'm here inside of a lay by
You can't control your mind
Why can't I lay by your side
Times were always tougher
In the middle of the night
Times were always harder
Until the day we see the light
Can we wake up in the morning
Start our journey once again
This is not the way it ends

[Verse 3]
There's a storm inside my head
I think of you when I hear the thunder
I'm stuck inside a cycle
I can't watch you fall for another
Maybe if I try
I could try to change your mind
If this is what you want
This is going to take me time
I'm letting go of something
I feel I had to repay

[Chorus]
While you were up all night
I'm here inside of a lay by
You can't control your mind
Why can't I lay by your side
Times were always tougher
In the middle of the night
Times were always harder
Until the day we see the light
Can we wake up in the morning
Start our journey once again
This is not the way it ends
