[Verse 1]

I know, oh, I know

That look on your face

Says you're goin' through some things

And for sure, maybe, for sure

I'm here, mhm

Here for you, baby, yes


[Pre-Chorus]

Whatever it is, trouble is deep

I can see by your eyes

They're heavy to me

Talk to me, baby


[Chorus]

I am your shelter

You're safe from harm

Tornado, lightning, hurricane

Can't get by me

Come under my glow

Feel the energy, let go

Lay your burdens down (Let go)

I am your shelter

You're safe from harm (Let go)

Tornado, lightning, hurricane

Can't get by me

Come under my glow (Let go)

Feel the energy, let go

Lay your burdens down (Lay your burdens down)


[Post-Chorus]

Lay 'em down, lay 'em down

Lay your burdens down (Lay 'em down)

Lay 'em down, lay 'em down

Lay your burdens down (Lay 'em down)

Can't get by me

Come under my glow

Feel the energy, let go

Lay your burdens down


[Verse 2]

Look here, hol' up

You got a lot goin' on

I can see by the way you walk

And how you got your shoulders on

Baby, everybody get wet

When the rain is pourin'

Can't stop now

'Cause the wind is foreign

It's a fact

Of the universe, that sometimes

Life is pain, and it can hurt

But I know

That it'll get better

Because you've gone through worse, huh? Hey


[Pre-Chorus]

Whatever it is, trouble is deep

I can tell by your eyes

They're heavy to me

Oh, my baby, I am


[Chorus]

I am your shelter

You're safe from harm (I am)

Tornado, lightning, hurricane

Can't get by me

Come under my glow (Whatever trouble)

Feel the energy, let go

Lay your burdens down (Lay your burdens down)

I am your shelter

You're safe from harm (I am your shelter)

Tornado, lightning, hurricane (Whatever, babe)

Can't get by me

Come under my glow (Ever, baby)

Feel the energy, let go

Lay your burdens down (Lay your burdens down)


[Post-Chorus]

Lay 'em down, lay 'em down

Lay your burdens down (Inner peace)

Lay 'em down, lay 'em down

Lay your burdens down (Inner peace)

Can't get by me

Come under my glow

Feel the energy, let go

Lay your burdens down (Let go)

Down, lay your burdens down (Inner peace)

Lay 'em down, lay 'em down

Lay your burdens down (Inner peace)

Can't get by me

Come under my glow

Feel the energy, let go

Lay your burdens down


[Outro]

Sitting here, contemplating

If we should even be

See, I'm in love with a man

Who loves me, for me

He'd do anything, easily

Oh, his heart knows no boundaries

But, he needs

Sometimes, to write

With a different pen on different paper

He needs

Oh, he needs

He needs, mhm

So I'm sitting here, contemplating

If we should even be

Like him, I, too, have needs

Like, like my thought on a beat

Hypnotic and sweet

Like part of the dreamin'

And I need you

On the other side of the speaker

To look up a little more

And think a little deeper

And live in your truth

I need that, too

I need to do that, too

I need

Sitting here, contemplating
