Save Me Tonight
Midnight Salvation: Longing for a Rescuer
Lyrics
I see you there
I notice your presence
Standing so far away
You stand at a distance
The streetlight
A streetlight illuminates
Casts a glow on your face
Creating a glow on your face
I call out your name
I call your name
But you turn away
You ignore me
It doesn't matter
Your response doesn't matter
What I wanted you to say
Regardless of what I hoped you'd say
Who's gonna' save me tonight?
Seeking someone to rescue me tonight
Who's gonna save me tonight?
Reiteration of the desire for salvation
And when I look at you
Expressing desire while looking at you
You know I want you to
Reaffirming the want
So won't you save me
Pleading for you to save me
I'm all alone
Feeling isolated
With one last cigarette
Having the last cigarette
I'd share with you
Willing to share it with you
After all you've done for me
Acknowledging your past kindness
I look at the sky
Gazing at the sky
As smoke fills my lungs
Inhaling smoke, contemplating
Right then I knew
A moment of realization
All that I could become
Understanding one's potential
Who's gonna' save me tonight?
Continuing the plea for rescue
Who's gonna save me tonight?
Repetition of the need for salvation
And when I look at you
Emphasizing desire while looking at you
You know I want you to
Reiterating the wish
So won't you save me
Requesting salvation
I don't need saving tonight
Claiming independence from rescue tonight
I don't need saving tonight
Reiteration of self-sufficiency
And if you ever find yourself
If you ever feel lonely
All alone
Being open to assistance
Be sure to ask me
Encouraging you to seek help
Who's gonna' save me tonight?
Repeating the call for rescue
Who's gonna save me tonight?
Reiterating the plea for salvation
And when I look at you
Expressing desire while looking at you
You know I want you to
Reaffirming the want
So won't you save me
Pleading for you to save me
