I'm so gone Anyone could see that I'm wasted You cut through And I just wanna know what's in your head Write it on a piece of paper, honey Put it in my coat before I go Hidden in a place you know I'll find it, oh Later when I'm sitting all alone Let me in Everything starts at your skin, so new Your love's always finding me out Who am I kidding? If all my defenses come down, oh baby Will you lay it all on me now? Lay it all on me now Lay it all on me now Lay it all on me now Snow comes down, everything is new and different I found you hidden in plain sight, why'd I take so long? Write it on a piece of paper, honey Put it in my coat before I go Let me in Everything starts at your skin, so new Your love's always finding me out Who am I kidding? If all my defenses come down, oh baby Will you lay it all on me now? Lay it all on me now Lay it all on me now Lay it all on me now Lay it all on me now Your love's always finding me out Who am I kidding? If all my defenses come down, oh baby, baby Will you lay it all on me now? Lay it all on me now Lay it all on me now Lay it all on me now Lay it all on me now
