[Verse 1]
I stripped it down for your naked eyes
So you could understand and let me inside
So I hope you know through the rising tide
That I'll be here and you can lay by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
You can rely on me, you know
Oh-oh-oh
When this town is locked and closed
You can...

[Chorus]
Lay by me, I still care
When you need, lay by me
Lay by me, if you're here
You can still lay by me
Ha-ah, ha-ah

[Verse 2]
I've seen the places you go to hide
I've been in all those rooms, I know what that's like
Staring at paint as you watch it dry
But don't forget your room is right next to mine
[Pre-Chorus]
And lay by me
If that is something you would nee
And lay by me, if you need
You can...

[Chorus]
Lay by me, I still care
When you need, lay by me
Lay by me if you're here
You can still lay by me
Lay by me, I still care
When you need, lay by me
Lay by me if you're here
You can still lay by me
Ha-ah, ha-ah

[Outro]
Lay by me, I still care
When you need, lay by me
Lay by me if you're here
You can still lay by me
Lay by me, I still care
When you need, lay by me
Lay by me if you're here
You can still lay by me
