after your laughter like thunder after your skin like coffee and cream after it takes our bodies into the night after we ve come to the extreme i want to lay down on your shoulder just inside your arm i want to listen to your heartbeat and your breathing on and on i want to lay down on your shoulder surrender to your peace and go to sleep after we ve gone a million miles made true our dreams with sweat and bone after we ve built it up with our bare hands made strong a place we can call home i want to lay down on your shoulder just inside your arm i want to listen to your heartbeat and your breathing on and on i want to lay down on your shoulder surrender to your peace and go to sleep and when the light in my eye is fading when running water becomes too deep finally angels turn my fire to dust and when my soul s no longer mine to keep i want to lay down on your shoulder just inside your arm i want to listen to your heartbeat and your breathing on and on i want to lay down on your shoulder surrender to the peace and just go to sleep just go to sleep
