Someone somewhere tonight
Is taking their first steps
Letting go of the hands that held them
And trusting themselves

And somewhere somewhere tonight
Is hearing their last rites
And prayin' with all their might
That there's something else

So, babe, lie down here beside me
Let's lie real still
And tell me you love me
And you always will

Someone somewhere tonight
Is tasting their first kiss
Whispering softly this wish
For this night to go on

While someone somewhere
Is holdin' on to a bottle
Pourin' one more and hopin' that God will
Get them through till the dawn

So, babe, lie down here beside me
And let's lie real still
And tell me you love me
And you always will

Someone somewhere tonight
Is stuck in a prison
Breathin' but just barely livin'
Behind walls of their own

But someone somewhere tonight
Just found their own wings
Found some beauty and found some meaning
They found some truth, found some truth
In spite of it all

So, babe, lie down here beside me
And let's lie real still
And tell me you love me
And you always will

And you always will
