Seems from day one you couldn't win this,
No guessing what was going on in your head,
In the recesses of your mind,
A little girl with all her favourite songs.
I smile at Tracy Emin and she speaks out to me.
Just lay down,
Just lay down,
To sleep or to make love,
To study or appreciate.
Conventional could not describe you,
But there's a beauty that goes deeper still,
I'm not a name upon that tent,
And I am not a dream inside that bed.
I stumbled on you speaking and you spoke right at me.
Just lay down,
Just lay down,
To sleep or to make love,
To study or appreciate.
That twisted smile just warmed me to you,
Hardened exterior, a shell.
It just protects the fragile you.
The pain and the fierce intelligence.
You can put it on me if you ever feel the need.
Just lay down,
Just lay down,
To sleep or to make love,
To study or appreciate.
Just lay down,
Just lay down,
To sleep or to make love,
To study or appreciate.
