Last Person
Jukebox the Ghost and Jenny Owen Youngs Lyrics

Well you're sitting on a barstool
You're feeling stuck and stagnant in your life

Keeping motionless as you can be
You're trying to stay still and composed, hoping things will work out

Thinking maybe if you're lucky life is like T-Rex
You're hoping that being still will make you invisible to your problems, like prey hiding from a predator

The stillness will sweep you away to where it's safe
You think that by staying still, you'll be safe from the uncertainty and danger of life

'Cause you're feeling like you're the last person left on the planet tonight
You feel alone and isolated, like no one else understands your struggles

And you're scanning the horizon seeking out signs of life
You're desperately searching for connections and hope

And you pray that you're wrong but you're right
You hope that you're just being paranoid, but you're afraid that your fears are justified

So hold on tight
Stay strong and don't give up

'Cause all that stares back at you are bloodless zombie eyes
You feel like the people around you are going through the motions of life without truly living

Why don't you come home with me tonight
I want to offer you companionship and support

Alright
It's okay, you're not alone

Not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal
I'm not trying to put pressure on you, I just want to be there for you

I just know exactly how you feel
I understand your struggles and can relate

I could be the thing you reach for in the middle of the night
I want to be the person you can turn to for comfort and support

Let me be the one who treats you right
I want to show you that you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect

Now I know you never seen me
We haven't met before, but I still want to help

There's no reason for you to pay mind but I'm asking very nicely
I don't expect anything from you, but I hope you'll consider my offer

And all it takes is one step to start leaving the dead behind
All it takes is a small effort to move on from your problems and start living again

And try out walking life
Take a chance and see what life has to offer

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

(What's the worst thing)

We find out that we don't quite fit
We might not be compatible or have a successful relationship

But on the flip side
On the other hand

(On the flip side)

We could be just right
We could work out and have a great connection

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

But that's my kind of risk
I'm willing to take that risk for the chance at a meaningful connection

So quit worrying where they'll fall if you should roll the dice
Stop worrying about the potential negative outcomes and take a chance

Why don't you come home with me tonight
I want to offer you support and connection

Alright
It's okay to accept help

Not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal
I just want to be there for you

I just know exactly how you feel
I understand your struggles and can relate

I could be the thing you reach for in the middle of the night
I want to be there for you when you need support

Let me be the one who treats you right
I want to show you that you deserve to be treated well
