Howie Day – Come Lay Down lyrics

Howie Day – Come Lay Down lyrics

Come lay down at the edge
Come lay down at the broken edge
Come lay down at the feet of angels
Eyeing you in a northern sky

Come lay down at the end
Come lay down where the times suspended
Come lay down and hear the voices
Calling you from a northern sky

Follow me and don't look down You're alright
Come with me and forget you're high
It's alright in all

Your eyes are open and singing
Your eyes are open
And not quite breathing
Your eyes are open
You're seeing things
That I can't see as hard as I try

Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright
And alright,

Don't look down
Keep your eyes off the ground
So afraid
These days will fall
Like tears down your face

Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright
And alright,
Follow me don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright, alright

Singer is reassuring a friend who is on an LSD bad trip. It all fits:
“Your eyes are open and singing
Your eyes are open
And not quite breathing...
You're seeing things
That I can't see as hard as I try.”

“Come lay down at the broken edge”
It feels like reality is shifting under you, it’s scary, I know. “So afraid
These days will fall
Like tears down your face.”
“Keep your eyes off the ground.”
Do not stare over that broken edge.
“Come lay down at the feet of angels”
Try to lean into it, try to relax into a faith that a higher power is here and will brace you against the broken edge, won’t let you fall.

I have been on both the “bad trip” end and the “reassuring” end of this conversation:
“Come with me, forget you’re high, you’re alright.” Stick with me and you are going to be fine, I promise, this all shall pass.
