She could be the saddest girl in California
Turn her back on every sun to come before her
It would be so easy now to fall apart
Drown below the bridge that brought us here
I'd go to the corners of the world to find her
Knowing I might always be a step behind her
I know I can take another dry season, I can feel the desert in my bones
Knowing that whatever keeps us on the run
Is always strong enough to lead us home
Yeah
Take your heavy heart
Lay it down
And your weary head
Lay it down
And your trembling hands
Lay them down
Lay them down
We could spend the evening staring at the ceiling
Coming up with brand new words for how we're feeling
Darling there's a universe inside of you
I can feel it moving when you're near
I don't need an endless sky to show me why
All i need is something true and clear
Oh Oh Oh
Take your heavy heart
Lay it down
And your weary head
Lay it down
And your trembling hands
Lay them down
Lay them down
I fought my way
Through these demons heaving reason at my door
And I made it to yours
So won't you open up
Open up to me
Take your heavy heart
Lay it down
And your weary head
Lay it down
And your trembling hands
Lay them down
Lay them down
Down, lay them down
Inside of mine
