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.
