Someone Will

Grab your cigarettes,

And follow me out of the living room.

And I’ll get drunk enough to tell you how I feel

About the men you loved,

And how they all seemed to get the best of you

Because if I don’t say these things, you know,

Someone will.

If that look in your eyes, as I slowly go through the evidence,

Gives any insight into the void you can’t get filled

Then your heart it's bigger than any I’ve come up against.

And if nobody has loved you enough, I know now,

Someone will.

So I hope my voice can stay as clear as I need it to

But that my words take on the nature of a drill

To be set against the frozen sea inside of you

Because if I don't tell you I’m falling in love, then

Someone will.

Someone will, and maybe someday you’ll be listening.

But I could be just as you need me up until.

The kind of guy you say you’re looking for,

Sounds like the kind of guy I want to be

But if you just want someone to hold you right now, then

Someone will.

It’s the nights like this in the quieter parts of los angeles

When you think you see the outline of the beast, up in the hills.

Well you might be sitting beside the only person you could face it with

But if you don’t want me after tonight,

Someone will.

I have to believe that

Someone will.
