Lay Me Down Lyrics

I feel weak, things get tough
Sometimes my knees can barely hold me up
I'm no fool, but it's said
You gotta walk a mile 'til you're outta my head

Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up
Cast your light, give a damn
You gotta make a move and show me where we can stand

Lay Me Down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
(Come on)

Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
(Come on)

Tell me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
Tell me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need

I got the time, it'll be alright, yeah, I got the time
That you need (Yeah)

We all weep, bleed the same
If you get the picture, leave it outta the frame
In the now, take a chance
Make a mess, and don't forget that life is a dance

Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up
Cast your light, give a damn
You gotta make a move and show me where we can stand

Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
(Come on)

Lay me down in darkness (Yeah)
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need

Show me I'm the one tell me I'm the one that you need
(Yeah)
Show me I'm the one tell me I'm the one that you need
Show me I'm the one tell me I'm the one that you need
Show me I'm the one tell me I'm the one that you need

Mmmm-mmm me, show me baby baby tell me that's me, yeah
I got the time, it'll be alright, yeah
I got the time that you need. Come on!

Lay Me Down

This song finds Avicii collaborating with guitarist Nile Rodgers, who is best known for his work with Disco pioneers Chic and on Daft Punk's Random Access Memories album.

The song features the vocals of Adam Lambert, who first came to prominence in 2009 after becoming the runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol. Avicii said: "I really fell in love with his voice. He just captured something on that first take."

Rodgers and Lambert were one of several major talents that Avicii recruited for his True album. He told Rolling Stone: "I wanted to collaborate with songwriters who weren't used to electronic music, which was interesting from the start."
