My Morning Jacket – Lay Low

"Lay Low" as written by and Jim James....
Lay low why don't ya now?
Lay back awhile and I'll show ya
I got the good that you want
No need to go and hunt something else
It's right here with me when you stay
Its always good when I get to see
That there's never more than what you're telling me
When you stay, home

Lay low if the feel is right
I got all that I want here in you tonight
And we'll pass out on the bedroom floor
After goin' like this so long

Hold up, you showed me
Oh what you told me
Its not what you want but what you need
Its not a head full of pills or amphetamines, when you stay
Its always good when I get to see
That there's never more
Than what you're telling me when you stay, home

Lay low if the feel is right
I got all that I want here in you tonight
And we'll pass out on the bedroom floor
After goin' like this so long

Lay low if the feel is right
I got all that I want here in you tonight
And we'll pass out on the bedroom floor
After goin' full tilt so long

    General CommentMine too, almost sounds like it could be a radio single, which is a lot more than I can say for most of their other songs, not that thats a bad thing.

    General Comment"Oh what you told me, it's not what you want but what you need it's not
    a head full of booze (pills) or amphetamines, when you stay"

    potentially meaning his girlfriend is so much better than booze/drugs. but when shes not there its what he turns to...."its not a head full of booze...etc WHEN YOU STAY"

    comments?

    General Commentit shows him that his girlfriend cares about him when she chooses to stay home with him instead of going out and getting drunk, etc.

    open to suggestions....

    General CommentIt's a drug abuse song. In this instance it's about stopping, for at least awhile. MMJ don't normally hide their meanings behind deep metaphors, and this is no exception.
