Lyrics
[Verse 1] I came in with my hands full of old receipts and names Pocket full of heavy I wore it like a chain You saw me at the doorway eyes low, shoulders numb I said I’m only passing but I never really run [Chorus] Lay it down, lay it down I don’t need it now Lay it down, lay it down Let the hard parts out (hold me steady) Lay it down, lay it down I’m lighter with you [Verse 2] There’s a dent in my coat sleeve from every hand I shook A table in the back room where I learned how to look At the fracture in my story At the bruise under my grin You taught me how to breathe slow And let the daylight in [Chorus] Lay it down, lay it down I don’t need it now Lay it down, lay it down Let the hard parts out (hold me steady) Lay it down, lay it down I’m lighter with you [Verse 3] I put the weight on the altar right beside my pride The old fear in my left hand the sharp edge in my spine Now the room sounds different when I stop and stay Even my own shadow learns to walk away [Bridge] [Gentle Breakdown] If I tremble, let me If I’m bare, let me If the night comes calling Still you carry me (still you carry me) [Chorus] Lay it down, lay it down I don’t need it now Lay it down, lay it down Let the hard parts out (hold me steady) Lay it down, lay it down I’m lighter with you [Outro] Lighter with you Lighter with you I left it on the floor And I walked on through
