Lay My Head Down Lyrics - Despite Our Differences - Indigo Girls

Ohh, the party's kicked up a few notches 

Look at us getting loose 

She leans back against the wall and she watches 

Tugging her collar like it might be a noose 

And everyones tied to their thing 

To their past or their drink 

Or the date that they bring 

I just get tired all of sudden taking it in 

And I want to lay my head down on you 

Because you're the only solid thing in this room 

A room full of changes, strangers, illusion, confusion 

I speak from my heart but I'm not really sure if it's true 

I wanna lay my head down on you

Ohh, consider waste, too much time planning 

Or you'll get the rug ripped out 

And the only way you'll be satisfied 

Is learning to live without 

But some plan for the kingdom of heaven 

And some take their chances and bet lucky seven 

I don't know what to believe 

I just show up and breathe anymore 

And I wanna lay my head down on you 

Because you're the only solid thing in this room 

A room full of dressers, professors, lookers, hookers 

If I don't get out, I'll do something I don't wanna do 

And I wanna lay my head down on you 

Was it so long ago 

That we sat and talked in your car? 

Your things were all packed 

And the place you were headed, not really that far 

Photos 

Years later I think 

That I would have been much more alive 

To have taken you up on your offer 

And taken that drive 

Ohh, well, everything that's come before us 

Leads us to where we are now 

And thats simple, I know so why can't I let go of the feeling 

That I'm lost somehow 

I'm just a ghost looking in 

Out of my own life just visiting 

In search of a body to have 

And to hold and to keep and to sleep 

I wanna lay my head down on you 

Because you're the only solid thing in this room 

A room full of missed chance, slow dance, cold fate, heartache 

I showed up for a party and saw my life story full view 

And I wanna lay my head down on you
