Be My Somebody Lyrics
I'm too foggy today,
To know what you're sayin',
Your lips are moving so fast,
And i just keep praying,
For them to slow down,
So i can make some sense,
Of the words that are pouring out,
Of your crooked spout.
Last night was a record to be broken,
It broke all over the kitchen floor,
Oh no don't you go,
I'm coming back with a rag,
To wipe away the haze from the days,
We've forgotten all about.
So be my somebody tonight,
Be the one who'll hold me tight,
Honey, please, please,
Cuz i've been so all alone,
And no one will pick up the phone,
So honey, please stay.
I held your head up, do you remember?
When you wanted to make a blanket outta me,
Oh i can't lie ... i been keeping score,
And it's your turn to wring me out,
And lay me down to dry.
So be my somebody tonight,
Be the one who'll hold me tight,
Honey, please, please,
Cuz i've been so all alone,
And no one will pick up the phone,
So honey, please stay,
Honey, please stay,
Honey, please stay.
To know what you're sayin',
Your lips are moving so fast,
And i just keep praying,
For them to slow down,
So i can make some sense,
Of the words that are pouring out,
Of your crooked spout.
It broke all over the kitchen floor,
Oh no don't you go,
I'm coming back with a rag,
To wipe away the haze from the days,
We've forgotten all about.
Be the one who'll hold me tight,
Honey, please, please,
Cuz i've been so all alone,
And no one will pick up the phone,
So honey, please stay.
When you wanted to make a blanket outta me,
Oh i can't lie ... i been keeping score,
And it's your turn to wring me out,
And lay me down to dry.
Be the one who'll hold me tight,
Honey, please, please,
Cuz i've been so all alone,
And no one will pick up the phone,
So honey, please stay,
Honey, please stay,
Honey, please stay.

To me, it shows how she needs someone in her life to 'Be (her) somebody' and look after her. An she's not willing to just let them slip away. x
I think comment #1 is kind of on the right track but to elaborate a bit further, I believe this is someone she has had history with and deeply cares about. There's a good possibility she's writing about her relationship with Bassist, Lee Alexander. They actually end up breaking up sometime within the next year. I think the message of the song is she saying lets wipe away the haze from the days of the past. Mistakes were made on both side but she wants a new start and is praying for him to slow down his words and telling him positive things about how it used to be, hoping maybe he'll realize what's really important and that whatever bickering, arguing or other issues they've had in the past have become somewhat meaningless, pointless and insignificant. So, let's get back to what made us happy in the beginning which is really whats important! So, please don't leave, be with me tonight and lets try and find what we once had between us!
