Take on Me
Anton Wick Feat. Valentina J. Woods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Going back as a kid
A place there is no end
Shutter at the rules
Days were longer then
Hanging out with friends
Acting like a fool
Meet me down by the water
We’ll get high and drink all night
I heard Ry’s having a party
We’ll drive till we see the lights
Take me back
I don’t wanna be an adult
I don’t wanna no
Take me back
I just wanna lose control
Take me back to my old home
Nothing could go wrong
But it’s been so long
Was it all for real
Better than it was
Maybe so or maybe not
Just something I could feel
Looking back on the water
This town it stays the same
My memories all come rushing
Like a wave crashing over me
Take me back
I don’t wanna be an adult
I don’t wanna no
Take me back
I just wanna lose control
Take me back to my old home
Take me back
I don’t wanna be an adult
I don’t wanna no
Take me back
I just wanna lose control
Take me back to my old home
Every time I go home now
I see it all how it used to be
But I know I’m going somewhere
Like being in a new dream
Take me back
I don’t wanna be an adult
I don’t wanna no
Take me back
I just wanna lose control
Take me back to my old home
Take me back
I don’t wanna be an adult
I don’t wanna no
Take me back
I just wanna lose control
Take me back to my old home
Take me back
All the way back home
Take me back
Just enough to let go
Take me back
All the way back home




Take me back
Just enough to let go
