I don’t wanna
see you go
I want somebody
to love me
Why’d it take
so long to know
I want somebody
to love me, yeah
I want somebody
to be nice
See the boy I once
was in my eyes
Nobody’s gonna
save my life
We are wicked men
Looking for buckles to loosen
By the count of ten
I wanna see
somebody human
And I lost what it was
in the teenage dust
of a downtown Romeo
In a couple of weeks
you can tell all the freaks
how you carried
my body home
But tonight
I crossed the line
Dear Mr. Lonely
How much could
you know me
I could find
lessons in light
But once you’ve earned it
You’ve already burned it
I don’t wanna
see you go
I need somebody
to love me
Why’d it take
so long to know
I need somebody
to love me
I want somebody
to be nice
See the boy I once
was in my eyes
Nobody’s gonna
save my life
Got my ticket man
and I’m looking
for somebody to use it
I know we pretend
But one of these days
we’re gonna lose it
And I once left town
when the leaves
turned brown
with a couple of souvenirs
She was in my car
when we hit that wall
Yeah you could’ve
moved me to tears
But tonight
I crossed the line
I used to know her
when my house was sober
I could find
lessons in light
Over and over
is it really over
I don’t wanna
see you go
I need somebody
to love me
Why’d it take
so long to know
I need somebody
to love me
I want somebody
to be nice
See the boy I once
was in my eyes
Nobody’s gonna
save my life
But tonight
I crossed the line
I used to know her
when my house was sober
I could find
lessons in light
Over and over
is it really over
I don’t wanna
see you go
I want somebody
to love me
Why’d it take
so long to know
I want somebody
to love me, yeah
Yeah, I want
somebody nice
See the boy I once
was in my eyes
