lyrics

Can someone take me home tonight?
I'm far too tired to go it alone.
And it's too late to wonder why
Everyone else has reaped the rewards of the seeds I haven't sewn.

Can someone hold me close tonight?
Someone with lily hands and a warm soul.
Help me out. We all know that I can't fly.
Pick me up and just take me home.

Lying here like an old car rusting.
Well there's something here but I've only found nothing.
If you held me close you'd hear my heart thumping.
It'd be nice for once to just feel something.

And I saw a hummingbird fall from a tree.
And I picked it up in sordid ecstasy.
It said, "Hey there stranger. This is my last dream.
Please make sure I go home tonight with someone other than me."

Her hands are lily flowers and her heart's like water.
Her eyes are like a forest filled with life and love and other great things.
And I'm some blasted heath. I'm some decaying withered leaves.
Doomed to fail like the season's first frost.
Please don't follow me. I'm lost.

There's no need to worry.
There's no need to breathe.
Because I'm in a dead space where there's no fucking trees.
My wings are broken and she flew away
Well I am where I am but I'm not gonna stay.
I fell to the ground to rest with the leaves.
I fell too far away from her face so sweet.
Kiss me on the cheek and I'll start to feel alright.
Please someone take me home tonight.
