I don't want to 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
To see the boy I once was in my eyes
Nobody's gonna save my life

We are wicked men
Looking for a proper solution
By the count of ten
I want to see somebody human
And I lost what it was in the teenage dust of the downtown Romeos
In a couple of weeks you can tell all the freaks how you carried my body home

But tonight
I cross the line
Dear Mr Lonely how much could you know me
I could find lessons in life
Over and over, is it really over

I don't want to 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
To 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 were 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 coulda 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 life
But once you've earned it you've already burned it

I don't want to see you go
I want somebody to love me
Why'd it take so long to know
I need somebody to love me
I want somebody to be nice
To 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 life
Over and over, is it really over
