[Intro]
Lay-lay, lay me, lay-lay, lay me
Lay-lay, lay me, lay-lay, lay me down
Lay-lay, lay me, lay-lay, lay me
Lay-lay, lay me, lay-lay, lay me down
Lay-lay, lay me, lay-lay, lay me
Lay-lay, lay me, lay-lay, lay me down

[Verse 1]
I believe, things get tough
Sometimes my knees can barely hold me up, yeah
I'm no fool, but it's said
You gotta walk a mile to get outta my head

[Pre-Chorus]
Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up
Get your life! Give a damn!
You gotta make a move to show 'em where we can stand, yeah

[Chorus]
Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need (Come on)
Lay me down in darkness (Yeah)
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need (Come on)

[Refrain 1]
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need

[Refrain 2]
I got the time, it'll be all right, yeah
I got the time that you need, yeah

[Verse 2]
We all weep, bleed the same
If you get the picture, leave it out of the frame, yeah
In the now, take a chance
Make a mess, and don't forget that life is a dance

[Pre-Chorus]
Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up
Get your life! Give a damn!
You gotta make a move to show 'em where we can stand, yeah

[Chorus]
Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need (Come on)
Lay me down in darkness (Yeah)
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need, need

Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need, yeah

Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need

Ooh babe, show me baby, baby tell me that's me, yeah
I got the time, it'll be all right, yeah
I got the time that you need, yeah
Come on!

In darkness

Avicii

Tim Bergling, better known as Avicii (b. September 8, 1989 – † April 20, 2018), was a Swedish record producer and DJ who took the EDM scene by storm and arguably redefined the entire genre with releases “Levels” and “Wake Me Up.” Melodically gifted, he infused new sounds into the world of electronic music and transformed it into a universally recognizable genre.

Avicii’s name was derived from a discussion with his friend, who explained to him that Avichi was the lowest level of Buddhist hell. He chose the name because he liked the sound and his government name had already been taken on Myspace. Bergling collaborated with a wide array of artists in genres that touch every aspect of music. His musical success was proven with numerous multi-platinum releases as well as several number-one spots across charts globally.

Shortly after playing his 2016 Ultra Music Festival set, he announced that he would retire from live performances after the calendar year was up. Avicii’s sound was unique and his drive was untouchable, infusing his unique sound into his music.
