Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Talkin' away
I don't know what's left to say, I'll say it anyway
Today is not my day to find you shine away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
[Verse 2]
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
[Verse 3]
So, needless to say, I'm odds and ends again
But I feel it stumblin' away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say it after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
[Verse 4]
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
[Verse 5]
Oh, oh, things that you say
Yeah, is it life or just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
Shyin' away
I'll be coming for your love, anyway
[Verse 6]
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day
