Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Closing time
Open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl
Closing time
One last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here
[Chorus]
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
[Verse 2]
Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won't be open till your brothers or your sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end, yeah
[Chorus]
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
[Verse 3]
Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
[Chorus]
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
[Outro]
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end
