Last Person (live in the basement)

Well you’re sitting on a barstool

Keeping motionless as you can be

Thinking maybe if you’re lucky

Life is like t-rex and

Stillness will sweep you away

To where it’s safe

Cause you’re feeling like the last person

Left on the planet tonight

And you’re scanning the horizon

Seeking out signs of life

And you pray that you’re wrong but you’re right

So hold on tight

Cause all that stares back at you are bloodless zombie eyes

So why don’t you come home with me tonight, alright

I’m not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal

I just know exactly how you feel

I could be the thing you reach for in the middle of the night

Let me be the one who treats you right

Now I know you’ve never seen me

There’s no reason for you to pay mind

But I’m asking very nicely

And all it takes is one step to start

Leaving the dead behind

And try out walking life

What’s the worst thing that could happen

We find out that we don’t quite fit

But on the flipside we could be just right

And sure there’s the chance that

We’ll both end up broken and split

But that’s my kind of risk

So quit worrying where they’ll fall if you should roll the dice

And why don’t you come home with me tonight, alright

I’m not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal

I just know exactly how you feel

I could be the thing you reach for in the middle of the night

Let me be the one who treats you right
