Lay It Down Slow Lyrics

If you've got dreams in your heart
Why don't you share them with me?
And if dreams don't come true
I'll make sure that your nightmares are through

If you've got pain in your heart
Why don't you share it with me?
And we'll just wait and see
If it's half of what it used to be

And lay it down slow
Lay it down free
Lay it down easy
But lay it on me

If you've got love in your heart
Why don't you keep it with mine?
I can't promise a miracle
But I'll always be trying

And lay it down slow
Lay it down free
Lay it down easy
But lay it on me

Lay it down easy
Lay it on me
Lay it down easy
But lay it on me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think I put this in the wrong section. Anyway... this song was used in Prison Break. A song meant for the husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend that Michael Scofield was. The lyrics, perfectly suited for him as a structural engineer. He said, "It's the job of a structural engineer to make sure everything he creates is designed to withstand the weight placed upon it." That's what the lyrics mean for him. "Lay it on me." He's speaking as a structure, telling his loved ones that he can withstand the weight placed upon him.

No comments? I love this song so much. First heard this song on Prison Break. It is so beautiful and the lyrics pretty much say it all.

It's clearly a love song. I think he's saying that he can take whatever baggage she has. I would almost sat it's a proposal song. Or even a friend professing his love to a hurt friend.

My personal opinion is that he is trying to make someone feel better (if you got pain in your heart Why don't you share it with me? And we'll just wait and see If it's half what it used to be ) or just he wants to make sure someone that he loves him or her
