You see me howling at the moon
It's what you taught me to do
I'm chasing stars just to get back closer to you

You see the ashes by the fire
They're all the light that I knew
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 whole in my heart

Now you say
There's no love to be found
We're six feet down and I thought
It'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
You got me climbing up 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 whole in my heart

Now you say
There's no love to be found
We're six feet down and I thought
It'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)

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Closer to you
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Show me the way
I'm done, travelled too far
With a cross on my back and a whole in my heart

Now you say
There's no love to be found
We're six feet down and I thought
It'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)

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)
