Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know, oh, I know
That look on your face
Says you're goin' through some things
And for sure, maybe, for sure
I'm here, mmm-hmm, here for ya, baby, yes
Whatever it is, trouble is deep
I can see by your eyes, they're heavy to me
Talk to me, baby
[Verse 2]
I am your shelter, you're safe from harm
Tornado, lightning, hurricane can't get by me
Come under my love, feel the energy
Let go, lay your burdens down (Let go)
I am your shelter, you're safe from harm (Let go)
Tornado, lightning, hurricane can't get by me
Come under my love, feel the energy (Let go)
Let go, lay your burdens down
Lay 'em down, lay 'em down, lay your burdens down (Lay 'em down)
Lay 'em down, lay 'em down, lay your burdens down (Lay 'em down)
Can't get by me, come under my love, feel the energy
Let go, lay your burdens down
[Verse 3]
Look here, hold up
You got a lot goin' on
I can see by the way you walk and how you got your shoulders on
Baby, everybody get wet when the rain is pourin'
Can't stop now 'cause the wind is foreign
It's a fact of the universe that sometimes life is pain and it can hurt
But I know that it'll get better
Because you've gone through worse
[Verse 4]
Whatever it is, trouble is deep
I can tell by your eyes, they're heavy to me
Oh, my baby
I am, mmm
[Verse 5]
I am your shelter, you're safe from harm (I am)
Tornado, lightning, hurricane can't get by me
Come under my love, feel the energy (Whatever trouble)
Let go, lay your burdens down
I am your shelter, you're safe from harm (I am your shelter)
Tornado, lightning, hurricane can't get by me (Whatever, babe)
Come under my love, feel the energy (Ever, baby)
Let go, lay your burdens down
Lay 'em down, lay 'em down, lay your burdens down (Inner peace)
Lay 'em down, lay 'em down, lay your burdens down (Inner peace)
Can't get by me, come under my love, feel the energy
Let go, lay your burdens down (Let go)
[Verse 6]
Down, lay your burdens down (Inner peace) (Lay your burdens down)
Lay 'em down, lay 'em down, lay your burdens down (Inner peace)
Can't get by me, come under my love, feel the energy
Let go, lay your burdens down
[Verse 7]
Sitting here, contemplating if we should even be
See, I'm in love with a man who loves me
For me, he'd do anything, easily
Oh, his heart knows no boundaries
But he needs, sometimes, to write with a different pen on different paper
He needs, oh, he needs
He needs, mmm-hmm
So I'm sitting here, contemplating if we should even be
Like him, I too have needs
(Like) Like my thought on a beat, hypnotic and sweet
Like part of the dreamin', and I need you
On the other side of the speaker
Too look up a little more and think a little deeper
And live in your truth, I need that too
I need to do that too, I need
[Verse 8]
Sitting here, contemplating
