[Verse 1]

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 (Fire)

The only life that I knew, hmm

I touched the flame just to get back closer to you

[Pre-Chorus]

Show me the way

I done traveled too far

With a cross on my back and a hole in my heart (Oh woah oh)

Now you say

There's no love to be found

When six feet down and I thought that made me closer to you

[Chorus]

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?

[Verse 2]

You hear me beatin' at the door

What else you want me to do? (Oh woah oh)

You got me crawling up the walls to get closer to you (Yes, you do)

[Pre-Chorus]

Show me the way

I done traveled too far

With a cross on my back and a hole in my heart (Oh woah oh)

Now you say

There's no love to be found

When six feet down and I thought that made me closer to you

[Chorus]

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?

[Post-Chorus]

Oh woah oh, oh woah oh

Closer to you

Oh woah oh, oh woah oh

[Bridge]

Show me the way

I done traveled too far

With a cross on my back and a hole in my heart

Now you say

There's no love to be found

When six feet down and I thought that made me closer to you (Closer to)

[Breakdown]

Oh woah oh, oh woah oh

Oh woah oh (Closer), oh woah oh (Clo-closer)

Closer to you (To you, to you, to you, to you, to, to, to, to, to) (Lay me down, lay me down)

Closer to you

[Chorus]

(Oh woah oh) Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?

(Oh woah oh) Won't you lay me down

Lay me down closer to you?

(Oh woah oh) Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?

(Oh woah oh) Won't you lay me down

Lay me down closer to you? (Yeah)

(Oh woah oh) Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?

(Oh woah oh) Won't you lay me down

Lay me down closer to you?

(Oh woah oh) Why don't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down?

(Oh woah oh) Won't you lay me down

Lay me down closer to you?
