Turtle by Justin Friello

I'd pick you up if you're lying at the bottom of
The stairs 'cause you had a rough night
Don't think that throwing yourself at every window's a way
To forget all the pain in your life

Oh, what you need is a friend or a lover
To erase all the doubts in your mind
Just hold my hand as we walk into the future
And, my darling, you'll be all right

So lay it all, go ahead, lay it all
Lay your life on top of me
Lay it all, go ahead, lay it all
Lay your world right down on me

Why would you pour some salt on your wounds
(Do you think more pain makes things all right?)
When what you need is the kiss from my mouth
To make the fire in your heart subside?

It's a long way down when you're staring out the window
But a short way to my arms inside
If you ever find you're staring at the bullet
I've been there, I'll be over tonight

So lay it all, go ahead, lay it all
Lay your life on top of me
Lay it all, go ahead, lay it all
Lay your world right down on me
