Jenny Owen Youngs - Last Person lyrics

rate me

Well you're sitting on a barstool

Keeping motionless as you can be

Thinking maybe if you're lucky life is like T-Rex

The stillness will sweep you away to where it's safe

'Cause you're feeling like you're the last person left on the planet tonight

And you're scanning the horizon seeking out signs of life

And you pray that you're wrong but you're right

So hold on tight

'Cause all that stares back at you are bloodless zombie eyes

Why don't you come home with me tonight

Alright

Alright

Not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal

I just know exactly how you feel

I could be the thing you reach for in the middle of the night

Let me be the one who treats you right

Let me be the one who treats you right

Now I know you never seen me

There's no reason for you to pay mind but I'm asking very nicely

And all it takes is one step to start leaving the dead behind

And try out walking life

I mean what's the worst thing

(What's the worst thing)

That could happen

We find out that we don't quite fit

But on the flip side

(On the flip side)

We could be just right

And sure there's the chance that'd we'd both end up broken and split

But that's my kind of risk

So quit worrying where they'll fall if you should roll the dice

Why don't you come home with me tonight

Alright

Alright

Not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal

I just know exactly how you feel

I could be the thing you reach for in the middle of the night

Let me be the one who treats you right

Let me be the one who treats you right
