Someone somewhere tonight

Is taking their first steps

Letting go of the hands that held them

And trusting themselves

While someone somewhere tonight

Is hearing their last rites

And hoping with all their might

That there's something else

Well, babe, lie down here beside me

And let's lie real still

And tell me you love me

And you always will

Someone somewhere tonight

Is tasting their first kiss

Whispering softly this wish

For the night to go on

While someone somewhere tonight

Is holding on to a bottle

Pouring one more and praying that God will

Get them through 'til the dawn

Well, babe, lie down here beside me

And let's lie real still

And tell me you love me

And you always will

Someone somewhere tonight

Is stuck in a prison

And they're breathing, they're just barely living

Behind walls of their own

But someone somewhere tonight

Just found their own wings

Found some beauty, found some truth, found some meaning

In spite of it all

Well, babe, lie down here beside me

And let's lie real still

And tell me you love me

And you always will
