I Want to Save You
Something Corporate Lyrics

Standing on the edge of morning
She is at the beginning of a new day, full of possibilities.

Scent of sex and new found glory
She can still smell the physical evidence of her encounter and is basking in the afterglow.

Playing as she's pulling back her hair
She's feeling flirty and is making a seductive gesture.

She drives away, she's feeling worthless
She knows that she's been used again and doesn't feel any better about herself than before.

Used again, but nothing's different
She's stuck in a cycle of being used and discarded by men, but can't find a way out.

She'd stay the night but knows he doesn't care
She knows that she's not valued and that staying won't change anything.

Home by three to deafening quiet
She comes home to a silent house, feeling alone.

The porch light's off, guess they forgot it
Even her family don't care enough to leave the porch light on for her.

She'd cry herself to sleep but she don't dare
She wants to cry but knows that it will only make her feel worse, so she tries to be strong.

And she wants to be a model
She dreams of being someone else, someone beautiful and successful.

She wants to hear she's beautiful
She craves validation and compliments from others.

I want to save you
The artist wants to help her and be there for her.

I need you, save me too
The singer realizes that helping her will also help him.

Dressed by dawn and out the door
She's up early and ready to face the day.

No lights, she memorized the floor
She's learned to move around in the dark without making any noise.

So she could leave without being detected
She doesn't want to be seen, because being invisible makes her feel safe.

She works till three, it's uniform
She has a standard job that she goes to every day, but it doesn't fulfill her.

She dreams that he'll come by the store
She still hopes that the man who used her will come back and rescue her from her mundane life.

She prays for days when boys mean she's protected
She wants to feel safe and secure with a man who will cherish and protect her.

And she wants someone to see her
She wants to be noticed and acknowledged, rather than invisible and forgotten.

She needs to hear she's beautiful
She craves validation and affirmation from others, because she doesn't feel beautiful or worthy on her own.

And she won't sleep
She's restless and can't calm her mind.

She won't sleep at all
Her anxiety and depression prevent her from getting a good night's sleep.

Let me save you
The artist wants to be her hero and protect her from the world.
