[Verse 1]
Your words, how they cut so deep
I can hear you in my sleep
Lying here, wishing here
Wishing here, waiting
You forget I know your tender spots
But I'll be careful with your heart
But I'm the one loving you
So come on and love me
[Chorus]
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
Why'd you want to go
And shoot love to the ground?
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down down
(Lay down your arms)
Lay with me, lay with me
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I can be so cold (be so cold)
I let you in but I don't let go (don't let go)
Pulling you, pushing you
Pushing you, pulling
Don't want to tear our love apart (love apart)
Can we find each other in the dark (in the dark)?
Can we start living here?
Can we start giving?
[Chorus]
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
Why'd you want to go
And shoot love to the ground?
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down down
(Lay down your arms)
Lay with me, lay with me
[Bridge]
So, we are in love
So, we are at war
But we can be on the same side
(Lay down your arms)
(Lay down your arms)
[Chorus]
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
Why'd you want to go
And shoot love to the ground?
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down down
(Lay down your arms)
Lay with me, lay with me
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
(Lay down your arms)
Your words, how they cut so deep
I can hear you in my sleep
Lying here, wishing here
Wishing here, waiting
You forget I know your tender spots
But I'll be careful with your heart
But I'm the one loving you
So come on and love me
[Chorus]
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
Why'd you want to go
And shoot love to the ground?
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down down
(Lay down your arms)
Lay with me, lay with me
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I can be so cold (be so cold)
I let you in but I don't let go (don't let go)
Pulling you, pushing you
Pushing you, pulling
Don't want to tear our love apart (love apart)
Can we find each other in the dark (in the dark)?
Can we start living here?
Can we start giving?
[Chorus]
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
Why'd you want to go
And shoot love to the ground?
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down down
(Lay down your arms)
Lay with me, lay with me
[Bridge]
So, we are in love
So, we are at war
But we can be on the same side
(Lay down your arms)
(Lay down your arms)
[Chorus]
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
Why'd you want to go
And shoot love to the ground?
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down down
(Lay down your arms)
Lay with me, lay with me
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)
(Lay down your arms)
