Somebody to Love Me Lyrics
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
(Chorus)
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
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
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 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
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
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 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
I used to know her when my house was sober
I could find lessons in life
Over and over, is it really over

I tried to decipher the lyrics when I first heard it and this is pretty much exactly what I got, except I thought it was "We are wicked men, looking for buckles to loosen". I think it's about someone leaving you because you've fucked up your life, and you're thinking that this person is going to make everything better when in reality, all you need is someone to be nice and love you and accept that no one can fix your life.
It's about OD'ing on heroin..
