Take on Me
AHA桗 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
Take on me, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me, (take on me)
Take me on, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh the things that you say
Is it live 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
Take on me, (take on me)
Take me on, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
(Take on me, take on me)
(Take me on, take on me)
I'll be gone (take on me)
In a day
The song's chorus says "take on me" several times, and it's about someone trying to convince another person to end their shyness and be bold enough to pursue love. The lyrics say "I'll be coming for your love, okay?" and "Take me on" to encourage the other person to take a chance on a potential romantic relationship. The phrase "I'll be gone in a day or two" hints at the fleeting nature of relationships and the sense of urgency to take action before an opportunity passes by.
The verses tell the story of someone who is unsure of what to say to the object of their affection but continues to pursue them anyway. They acknowledge that life can be challenging and full of obstacles, but they encourage the other person to take a risk and not play it safe. The line "Is it live or just to play my worries away" suggests that the singer may be questioning the other person's sincerity, wondering if their flirtation is genuine or just a game.
