Tell me, tell me, tell me
How to lose it and I’ll
I will take the time to
Become so much more
Than I had known.
Bring me, bring me back down
To where I once was
And I will show you a mind
Bound and lost in mirrors
So sublime.
Drinking down a message
I now call my tongue
I know all things sound the same
To those who walk without a song.
Taking down a line
Hung hollow on your wall
I know whom to follow
Long ways to the ground.
Take me away to a place that
I can call my own.
I want to go right now.
You bring me back to time spent
Underneath it all.
I want to go right now.
Take me on.
Shake me, shake me, shake me
‘Til you move me, ‘cause I’ve,
I have finally found a note to play my song
And carry on.
Tapping out the back beat
Drawn out on my thumb,
So far, too long we've been
Driving on and on.
Take me away to a place that
I can call my own.
I want to go right now.
You bring me back to time spent
Underneath it all.
I want to go right now.
Take me on.
[Bridge]
Please don’t go,
I might understand.
I will take you on
With my open hand
Sorry please don’t go,
I might understand.
I will take you…
On.
I will seek you out
With my emptiness,
And I will drink you down
With my loneliness.
And I will take you on
With my innocence
Because I may…
I may be that love.
Take me away to a place that
I can call my own.
I want to go right now.
You bring me back to time spent
Underneath it all.
I want to go right now.
Take me on.
