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

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 10
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
(Need somebody, oh)

Why'd it take so long to know?
I need somebody to love me
(Need somebody oh)

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, it 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?

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
(Need somebody, oh)

Why'd it take so long to know?
I want somebody to love me
(Need somebody, oh)

Yeah, I want somebody 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
(Need somebody, oh)

Why'd it take so long to know?
I want somebody to love me
(Need somebody, oh)

Yeah, I want somebody nice
See the boy I once was in my eyes
