FAWM: "Lay Your Head On My Shoulder"

Lay Your Head On My Shoulder

Liner Notes

Big ballad. Draft.

Lyrics

I’m tired
And I’m lonely
Come lay your head on my shoulder so I can rest
You heal me
I’m brokene
Without your head on my shoulder I cannot rest

It’s filling up and it’s caving in
The circumstances always win
I’m losing ground
I’ll disappear
I cannot breathe without you here

My body aches
My heart’s on fire
Without your head on my shoulder I cannot rest
My only truth is when you’re near
Come lay your head on my shoulder so I can rest

When my arms surround you I give in to my deepest thoughts
I can’t pretend
There’s nothing more that I can do
I’m not alive if I don’t have you

It’s always been
It will always be
Without your head on my shoulder I cannot rest
I’ll always need your saving grace
Come lay your head on my shoulder so I can rest

I will always feel empty without you
I will never be whole without you
Why would I even try

I’m tired
And I’m lonely
Come lay your head on my shoulder so I can rest
You heal me
When I’m broken
Without your head on my shoulder I cannot rest
Without your head on my shoulder I cannot rest
Come lay your head on my shoulder

This is really cool, Jeff. it is an interesting balance between angsty and romantic. It's kind of dark, and yet sweet at the same time. The melody for "without your head on my shoulder...." is really a strong hook. And I really dig the atmospheric keyboard parts behind the main piano chords. Well done!
