Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Anyone
[Verse 2]
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
[Verse 3]
Don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Said too much
They're not enough
[Verse 4]
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we got too old
Just show me a garden that's burstin' into life
[Verse 5]
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
Need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
[Verse 6]
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we got too old
Just show me a garden that's burstin' into life
All that I am
And all that I ever was
Was here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
[Verse 7]
Lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
