Take Me Home
Ben Martin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Asking me discretely, when she can come meet me, later on tonight
Talking super softly, how we both look gothy, but it's alright
Don't tell me what you're doing to me
I don't want to look sleazy, but you make it seem so easy

Anna, please get off the phone now
I've got to let you know now, it's time for you to take me home
Anna, please get off the phone now
I've got to let you know now, how much you mean to me

Kissing me so slowly, shouldn't be this lucky, like we're in a movie
Smiling at me in the moonlight, wish this could be everynight
And everynight and everynight again
Don't tell me what you're doing to me
I don't want to look sleazy, but you make it seem so easy

Anna, please get off the phone now
I've got to let you know now, it's time for you to take me home
Anna, please get off the phone now
I've got to let you know now, how much you mean to me

And I'd still be waiting, when all this starts fading It's true
You don't even know how much I need you

Anna, please get off the phone now
I've got to let you know now, it's time for you to take me home




Anna, please get off the phone now
I've got to let you know now, how much you mean to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Take Me Home" by Ben Martin describe a playful and intimate interaction between the singer and Anna, who he is speaking to on the phone. As Anna speaks to him "discretely," they plan to meet up later that night. The singer remarks on their gothy appearance with a nonchalant attitude, not wanting to seem "sleazy," but making it clear that Anna has a confident and alluring energy that he can't resist. As they connect in person, the singer describes the physical sensations of their kiss and how it feels like they're in a movie. He wishes that these moments could last forever and that Anna could take him home with her. He confesses his feelings to her and reassures her that he will wait for her even when the excitement of their initial meeting fades.


Overall, the lyrics express a desire for intimacy and connection, while also acknowledging a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty. The singer is captivated by Anna's presence and wants to be with her, but he also realizes that he may not know her fully and that their relationship may not last. The repeated plea for Anna to get off the phone reflects this urgency and the singer's need to be physically close to her. The song captures the excitement and potential of a new relationship, while also acknowledging the complexities and emotions that come with it.
