Well you're sitting on the barstool
                             
Keeping motionless as you can be
                     
Thinking maybe if you lucky
                                              
Life is like T-Rex and stillness will sweep you away
             
To where its safe

                                                         
Cause you're feeling like the last person
                  
Left on the planet tonight
                     
And your scanning the horizon 
                                                            
Seeking out sign of life and you pray 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 come on home with me tonight, alright, alright

                                                             
I'm 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 one 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 mine
                   
But I'm asking very nicely
                                                   
All it takes is one chance to start leaving the dead behind
                   
And try out walking life

                                   
What's the worst thing that could happen
                         
We find out that we don't fit
                               
But on the flipside we could be just right
                                                          
And sure there's a chance that we'll both and up broken and split
                    
But thats 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

                                                             
I'm 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 one 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
