Lay Me Back Down Lyrics

I remember things, not many things
I don't remember where my feet touch the ground
but I remember every word and every sound

I remember things, not many things
I don't remember when the ships hit the sea
but I remember my name and what they paid for me

they placed me in the bed with the cold hearted people
divided into space.
Lay me back down
in the holes and the warmth that we've warmed up
pour me on in
Lay me back down
Lay me back down
Aahhhhh....

I remember things, not many things
I don't remember presidents or what they did
but I remember the wars and just who profited

I remember things, not many things
I don't remember place in times
but I remember the love and just who gave me it

In the bed with the cold hearted people
and listen to them working too hard
Lay me back down
in the holes and the warmth that we've warmed up

I hear them calling me back to the ground
I hear them calling me back where I belong

i believe this is a song about the average soldier, and how he/she wants nothing to do with the war they are in.

We sure are cute for two ugly people.

Anyone else hear it?

What the fuck is wrong with you people. Obviously you like the band and this song otherwise you wouldn't look it up. The name of the site isn't called praiseyourfavouriteband.com it's songmeanings.net so fuck off with your bullshit comments that no one cares about and write about what you think the song is about or actual interpretation from the artist. I don't know what the song is about and that is why I come here but it seems pretty pointless now.
