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."

Lay Me Down Lyrics

Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be, where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, and the stars, are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain, the way I’m missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I’m inside
These tears, they tell their own story

You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright
I’ll take care of you,
And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight

I’m reaching out to you
Can you hear my call? (Who's to say you won't hear me?)
This hurt that I’ve been through
I’m missing you, missing you like crazy

You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright
I’ll take care of you
And I don’t wanna be here if I can’t be with you tonight

Lay Me Down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me down
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay down
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright
I’ll take care of you
And I don’t wanna be here if I can’t be with you tonight

Lay Me Down

This yearning love song is the lead single from In the Lonely Hour. It was released in the UK on February 15, 2013. The song entered the British singles chart at #46 after being referenced by host James Corden at the 2014 BRIT Awards.

Smith explained to MTV News how this was the song that kick-started his music career. "Disclosure heard 'Lay Me Down,' and [after that] it was like a domino effect," he said. "We wrote 'Latch' together, and then Naughty Boy heard 'Latch' and we wrote 'La La La' together, and then I had a number-one single in the UK."

The song was written by Sam Smith with Jimmy Napes, who helped write Disclosure's hits "Latch," "White Noise" and "You & Me." and newcomer Elvin Smith. The Disclosure pair produced the tune.

Smith performed the song along with "Stay With Me" during his debut appearance on the March 29, 2014 episode of Saturday Night Live.

The song secured Smith a record deal. London Records' Nick Raphael recalled to Billboard magazine: "I remember hearing 'Latch' and thinking, 'No person can go through that many vocal ranges at one time without going through a computer. And then he played 'Lay Me Down,' and I remember getting in the car afterward, calling the business affairs guy and saying, 'Whatever we do, we must close this deal.'"

Sam Smith went back into the studio in January 2015 to re-record the tune for its single release. The new version of the song was done with its original producers Jimmy Napes and Steve Fitzmaurice.

The music video was directed by Ryan Hope, whose other clients include George Michael ("White Light"), 2 Chainz ("Feds Watching") and Wiz Khalifa ("Remember You"). The clip was filmed in a South East London church and starts with a funeral before turning into a wedding scene, with Smith exchanging vows with his male partner. The singer said: "With this video myself and Ryan Hope the director have decided to make a statement and showcase something we passionately believe in."

"This video shows my dreams that one day gay men and women and transgendered men and women all over the world, like all our straight families and friends, will be able to get married under any roof, in any city, in any town, in any village, in any country."

Sam Smith partnered with John Legend to record a new version of the song for Comic Relief. The special track was released on March 9, 2015, with all proceeds going to the UK charity.

The collaboration with John Legend topped the UK singles charts. It was Smith's fourth #1 in his home country, following the singer's guesting on Naughty Boy's "La La La" and his own "Money On My Mind" and "Stay With Me."

Much of In the Lonely Hour deals with a case of unrequited love Smith suffered when he fell for a guy who turned out to be straight, and thus not interested in his advances. The singer explained during his gig at the O2 Academy in Brixton, London that he wrote "Lay Me Down" after deleting the unresponsive guy from his WhatsApp account.

Lay Me Down Lyrics

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!

Lay Me Down

This song was co-written by Adam Pallin. The American is best for being the producer/programmer half of the Pop duo Little Jackie, who had a UK Top 20 hit in 2008 with "The World Should Revolve Around Me." The other songwriters were Ashton Parson and Matt Parad.

The song was released as the second single from Pixie Lott's eponymous album. She said: "I think the track is a perfect second single because it still has an upbeat vibe you can dance to, but with a meaningful lyric in a soulful way. I love performing this live with the band because we can really get into it."

The song's music video finds Pixie soaking up the sun on the Mediterranean. She said: "I absolutely loved shooting this with a fabulous team. I shot it with the same company who did my video for 'Heart Cry', because they captured the perfect vibe before. It was my first time in the south of France and I was in awe, so beautiful."
