Lyrics
There was a time now it's far away
Reflecting on a past time that feels distant now.
I didn't know you, but I knew your name
Familiar with the person by name but not personally acquainted.
We would talk, I got nothing to say
Communication with the person lacks substance.
But hear me now
Emphasizing a message or plea.
You're like an angel that is just for me
Comparing the person to an angel, expressing admiration.
Bless your heart, let your mind go free
Wishing mental freedom and blessing for the person.
And it's too loud on the Earth today
Describing the overwhelming noise of the world.
So let's go home and lay down
Suggesting to find solace by going home and laying down.
And rest here in my arms
Inviting the person to find comfort in the speaker's embrace.
Now lay down
Repeating the idea of laying down and claiming the universe.
Lay down
-The universe is ours, lay down
-Lay down, lay down
-Catch a teardrop, bleed the heart
Imagery of catching a teardrop, bleeding heart, and a risky escape.
Masquerade in a world apart
-From a mass I got more to lose
-I'm making a run
-So blessed angel that is just for me
Reiteration of the person's angelic qualities and the noisy Earth.
Catch a dream, there's a lot to see
-But it's too loud on the Earth today
-So let's go home and lay down
Repeating the idea of laying down and claiming the universe.
And rest here in my arms
-Now lay down
-Lay down
-The universe is ours, lay down
-Lay down, lay down
-I never seen nobody move the way you do
Expressing admiration for the person's movements and origin.
Rocking steady and you know it too
-You had to come down from heaven above
-And tease the world
-So listen good, cause I'm telling it straight
Urgency in delivering a message due to limited time.
I don't got no more time to waste
-I got a trip planned past the sun
-Taking you home
-Yeah, oh

To lay down
Repeating the idea of laying down and claiming the universe.
And rest here in my arms
-Now lay down
-Lay down, the universe is ours
-Lay down, lay down, lay down
-Oh, now I see
Expressing devotion, planning, and creating a special space for the person.
I bought a planet for you
-I planned it for you my dear
-There's no one above you
-I purchased a room with a view
-So we could fly away to outer space
-We'll be alone just us two
-And you know it's all for you
-It's all for you
-It's all for you
-It's all for you
-It's all for you
-Oh, lay down
Repeating the idea of laying down, concluding with a soothing tone.
Mmm, lay down
-Oh, lay down
-Lay down
-Oh, lay down
