Lay Down the Load Songtext
von Secondhand Dreamcar

Lay down the load, lay down the load
You′ve gotta learn how to be alone now
It's what you′ve always wanted and always feared
Lay down the load, lay it all down
Why you carrying dead weight around?
How you gonna know real love when it happens near?

When it happens here in your heart
Where you've made a home
Just by showing up
You give your heart to these walls
You don't need to give it out
You can build your own
You can build your own

Lay down the load, lay down the load
Love is a gift to those who know, now
Not to take every drink that comes to hand
Lay down the load, lay it at your feet
Watch all that soil turn to heat
You′ve been a student for so long, it′s time to take your seat


See what comes to you
Feel what you want to do
Think what you ought to do
The answer could be nothing
Suddenly there is everything right there at your feet

All that heat
All that soil and moss and peat
Consider that ground
Build your life on that ground

But first

Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down

Lay down the load, lay down the load
Gotta learn how to be alone now
What you've always wanted and always feared
Lay down the load, lay it all down
Why you carrying dead weight around?
How you gonna know real love when it happens here?


Lay down the load, lay down the load
Love is a gift to those who know, now
Not to take every drink that comes to hand
Lay down the load, lay it at your feet
Watch all that soil turn to heat
You′ve been a student for so long, it's time to take your seat

Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down
