Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Talking away

I don't know what I'm to say

I'll say it anyway

Today is another day to find you

Shying away

I'll be coming for your love, okay?

[Chorus]

Take on me (Take on me)

Take me on (Take on me)

I'll be gone

In a day or two

[Verse 2]

So, needless to say

I'm odds and ends, but I'll be

Stumbling away

Slowly learning that life is okay

Say after me

"It's no better to be safe than sorry"

[Chorus]

Take on me (Take on me)

Take me on (Take on me)

I'll be gone

In a day or two

[Verse 3]

Oh, the things that you say

Yeah, is it a life or just to play

My worries away?

You're all the things I've got to remember

You're shying away

I'll be coming for you anyway

[Chorus]

Take on me (Take on me)

Take me on (Take on me)

I'll be gone

In a day

[Chorus]

Take on me

Take me on (Take on me)

I'll be gone (Take on me)

In a day (Take me on)

[Outro]

Take on me

Take on me (Take on me)

Take me on (Take on me)

Take on me
