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!

Show me the way,
I've done traveling too far
With the 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!
Why don't you lay me down, lay me down lay me down
Won't you lay me down, 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 lay me down, closer to you!

You hear me beating at the door,
What else you want me to do
Oh
You got me crawling up the walls to get closer to you
(Yes you do!)

Show me the way,
I've done traveling too far
With the 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!
Why don't you lay me down, lay me down lay me down
Won't you lay me down, 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 lay me down, closer to you!

Closer to you!

Show me the way,
I've done traveling too far
With the 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, closer)
Closer to you
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 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 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 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 lay me down, closer to you!
