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'm done, travelled too far with a cross on my back
And a hole in my heart
Now you say there's no love to be found
We're six feet down and I thought that'd make 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? Ooh
You got me crawling out the walls to get closer to you
(Yes you do)

Show me the way
I'm done, travelled too far with a cross on my back
And a hole in my heart
Now you say there's no love to be found
We're six feet down and I thought that'd make 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'm done, travelled too far with a cross on my back
And the hole in my heart
Now you say there's no love to be found
We're six feet down and I thought that'd make me 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
