I want to lay down with you forever   Or just this afternoon   Watching the shadows getting long   I'll sing you a quiet song   Watch you sleep so slow and deep      Baby I know that all your pain will pass   I know you're sad, but it won't last   I'm betting you everything that I've got in my pocket   When you're staring out into the sky   See what you have   And don't ask why   Things can't be different, they're perfect      Want to remind you how you laugh   Sometimes you don't even make a sound   Till you fall down on the ground   I'm going to love you every day   Maybe it'll balance out the pain   That I can't take away      Baby I know that all your pain will pass   I know you're sad, but it won't last   I'm betting you everything that I've got in my pocket   when you're staring out into the sky   See what you have, and don't ask why   Things can't be different   They're perfect      So come on and lay down with me   I'll tell you all the useless things   That I have learned   But this one good thing my old man told me      Baby I know that all your pain will pass   I know you're sad, but it won't last   I'm betting you everything that I've got in my pocket   when you're staring out into the sky   See what you have, and don't ask why   Things can't be different   They're perfect
