Written in 2013, Laying in the grass is one of the older songs from the album.
lyrics
(Verse 1)
Sounds of nature into the distance
These sounds give me my reassurance
All my problems will be going away
They will all be forgotten some day
(Pre chorus)
Sometimes it’s nice, to sit back and enjoy life
Stop worrying about everything
(Chorus)
I feel so relaxed
Looking at the stars, laying in the grass
These lights in the night
Make me feel all right
And I had a bad day
But I’m still feeling okay
Cause I really don’t care
That life isn’t fair
(Verse 2)
I see the trees
Who look right back at me
(Tryin’ to tell me something)
There arms moving in the wind
Telling me it ain’t a sin
(To finally be relaxing)
People tell me I’m crazy
But maybe I’m so stress free
(That they can’t understand me)
It’s all about opinion
That turns into decision
(That essentially makes you happy)
(Pre chorus)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
