Slow down, lie down Remember it's just you and me Don't sell out, bow out Remember how this used to be I just want you closer Is that alright? Baby let's get closer tonight Grant my last request And just let me hold you Don't shrug your shoulders Lay down beside me Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere But one last time just go there Lay down beside me Oh, I've found, that I'm bound To wander down that one way road Oh, and I realize all about your lies But I'm no wiser than the fool I was before I just want you closer Is that alright? Baby let's get closer tonight Grant my last request And just let me hold you Don't shrug your shoulders Lay down beside me Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere But one last time just go there Ooh, lay down beside me Oh, baby, baby, baby Tell me how can, how can this be wrong? Grant my last request And just let me hold you Don't shrug your shoulders Lay down beside me Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere But one last time let's go there Lay down beside me Grant my last request And just let me hold you Don't shrug your shoulders Lay down beside me Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere But one last time let's go there Lay down beside me Oh, oh, yeah, lay down beside me One last time let's go there Lay down beside me
