My favorite song by them - absolutely beautiful. Amazingly simple lyrics but still very powerful. There's not much to work with as of meaning, but I can imagine it has something to do with someone special. "Lay me down" could be that he wants her to give him up, yet he still wants her by saying come to me, secretly wanting her to follow her own path ("Don't give in") despite what he wants. He is struggling with the sacrifice of letting her go. At least that's what I get out of these three lines.
