[Verse 1]
Somebody's drivin' you home, but they don't know who you are
You're in the back of the car
Somebody's tryin' to help and makin' everything worse
Somebody, please call the nurse
Somebody's rippin' you off, tryin' to sell you good news
You know we're still gonna lose
But I need to be where you are, for no reason at all
Or else I'll suffer withdrawals
[Chorus]
Nobody's comin' to save me
Nobody knows any better, anyway

If this is how it ends, I wasn't listening
[Verse 2]

Nobody's comin' to save me
Nobody knows any better, anyway
I think we're thinkin' the same thing
If this is how it ends, I wasn't listening
[Outro]
(To you)
(To you)
I wasn't listening yet
Not even gone, but you'll be missing me yet
I wasn't listening yet
I wasn't listening
I wasn't listening yet
