Indigo Girls Lay My Head Down Lyrics

Lay My Head Down Lyrics

Oh the party’s kicked up a few notches 

Look at us getting loose 

She leans back against the wall and she watches, tugging her collar like it
might be a noose. 



And everyone's tied to their thing 

to
their past or their drink or the date that they bring 

I just get tired
all of sudden taking it in. 



And I want to lay my head down on you




Because you're the only solid thing in this room 



A
room full of changes, strangers, illusion, confusion, 

I speak from my
heart but I'm not really sure if it's true. 

I wanna lay my head down on
you. 



Oh they say don't waste too much time planning 

or
you'll get rug ripped out 

and the only way you’ll be satisfied 

is
learning to live without. 

But some plan for the kingdom of heaven 

and some take their chances and bet lucky seven 

I don’t know what to
believe, I just show up and breathe anymore. 



And I wanna lay my
head down on you 

because you're the only solid thing in this room 



A room full of dressers, professors, lookers, hookers 

If I
don’t get out I'll do something I don’t wanna do. 



And I wanna lay
my head down on you. 



Was it so long ago 

that we sat and
talked in your car 

your things were all packed 

and the place you
were headed not really that far 

years later I think 

that I would
have been much more alive 

To have taken you up on your offer and taken
that drive 



Oh well everything that’s come before us leads us to
where we are now

and that's simple, I know so why can't I let go of the
feeling 

that I'm lost somehow 

I'm just a ghost looking in 

Out of my own life just visiting 

in search of a body to have and to
hold and to keep and to sleep. 



I wanna lay my head down on you


because you're the only solid thing in this room 

a room full of
missed chance, slow dance, cold fate heartache 

I showed up for a party
and saw my life story full view 



And I wanna lay my head down on
you.
