In this song, Oberhofer wrestles with the idea of being surrounded by people but still feeling alone. The repeated line of ‘someone take me home’ is a call out for help, hoping that just one meaningful connection that he can make can rescue him from the point he’s stuck at.
[Verse 1]
I've got a lot of friends but
I always feel alone
If I'm old and dying
With no one left to hold
Someone take me home
[Chorus]
Who's gonna love you for the rest of your life?
Who's gonna love you 'til the day that you die?
Who's gonna love you for the rest of your life?
For the rest of your life
[Verse 2]
Before I'm in a mansion
With a bullet in my brain
An empty swimming pool and
No pilot for my plane
Someone take me home
[Chorus]
Who's gonna love you for the rest of your life?
Who's gonna love you 'til the day that you die?
Who's gonna love you for the rest of your life?
For the rest of your life
[Verse 3]
Before the sun is burned out
And the moonlight disappears
And the airplanes never land
'Cause their engines runs on tears
Someone take me home
[Verse 1/Outro]
I've got a lot of friends but
I always feel alone
If I'm old and dying
With no one left to hold
Someone take me home
Someone take me home
