As I Lay Songtext
You have found favor in everyday times
You open your heart and you open your mind
You try to find someone
that tells you it's time to come home
Running in circles as fast as you can
You hold in your heart what you don't understand
You try to find someone
to notice you're dancing alone
You're alone
When you look back on the life that you led
And all its importance was all in your head
You wake up from dreaming
You're twenty years dead; you're alone
You're alone
As I lay me down
Hold it all in before it's too late
You take me back from whence we came
Give it all up for just one chance to breathe
You never thought fame would bring you to your knees
And click, here's a picture
Of your great disease, you've come home
As I lay me down
Hold it all in before it's too late
You take me back from whence we came
As I lay me down
Hold it all in, pull it all out
You take me back from whence we came
You open your heart and you open your mind
You try to find someone
that tells you it's time to come home
Running in circles as fast as you can
You hold in your heart what you don't understand
You try to find someone
to notice you're dancing alone
You're alone
When you look back on the life that you led
And all its importance was all in your head
You wake up from dreaming
You're twenty years dead; you're alone
You're alone
As I lay me down
Hold it all in before it's too late
You take me back from whence we came
Give it all up for just one chance to breathe
You never thought fame would bring you to your knees
And click, here's a picture
Of your great disease, you've come home
As I lay me down
Hold it all in before it's too late
You take me back from whence we came
As I lay me down
Hold it all in, pull it all out
You take me back from whence we came
