1 Last Person
Jukebox the Ghost and Jenny Owen Youngs Lyrics

Well you're sitting on a barstool
You are passively sitting at a bar

Keeping motionless as you can be
You're staying still to avoid drawing attention to yourself

Thinking maybe if you're lucky life is like T-Rex
You're hoping that you can blend in and survive unnoticed

The stillness will sweep you away to where it's safe
Staying still and hidden will protect you from danger

'Cause you're feeling like you're the last person left on the planet tonight
You feel alone and isolated

And you're scanning the horizon seeking out signs of life
You are desperately searching for any human interaction

And you pray that you're wrong but you're right
You hope you're not alone, but deep down you know you are

So hold on tight
Keep your hope and your sanity intact

'Cause all that stares back at you are bloodless zombie eyes
The people around you seem lifeless and unresponsive

Why don't you come home with me tonight
Come with me and I'll show you a different kind of life

Not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal
I'm not trying to overhype what I'm offering

I just know exactly how you feel
I understand what you're going through

I could be the thing you reach for in the middle of the night
I can be there for you when you need comfort

Let me be the one who treats you right
I'll treat you with love and respect

Now I know you never seen me
We haven't met before

There's no reason for you to pay mind but I'm asking very nicely
I'm politely requesting that you consider my offer

And all it takes is one step to start leaving the dead behind
You can leave behind your lonely and unfulfilling life

And try out walking life
You can take a chance on living an enjoyable life

I mean what's the worst thing
What's the worst that could happen

(What's the worst thing)
(Assuming the worst scenario)

We find out that we don't quite fit
We learn that we aren't compatible

But on the flip side
On the positive side

(On the flip side)
(Continuing the positive thought)

We could be just right
We could be perfect for each other

And sure there's the chance that'd we'd both end up broken and split
There's a possibility that things won't work out

But that's my kind of risk
I'm willing to take that chance

So quit worrying where they'll fall if you should roll the dice
Stop worrying about how things might turn out

Why don't you come home with me tonight
Take a chance and come live a better life with me

Not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal
I just want to show you a better life

I just know exactly how you feel
I understand and empathize with you

I could be the thing you reach for in the middle of the night
I can be there for you when you need comfort

Let me be the one who treats you right
I'll treat you with love and respect
