Chord Overstreet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She shattered that land
I let our love out the door with a slam
I came here thinking
I could drink her away
I hit the bottom get carried away
ooh, I cant stand up straight
Please take me home
Please take me home
Please take the wheel for the night
Lay me down clothes the blinds
Save me from hitting the floor
Dont leave me out in the cold, someone please take me home
Been awhile since I lost ya
Getting close to a year
Your world keeps on turning but im always here
Still in this heartache
To friendly to face
Both of us want to get out of this place
So lets get out of this place
Please take me home
Please take me home
Please take the wheel for the night
Lay me down clothes the blinds
Save me from hitting the floor
Dont let me leave her alone, baby please take me home
Baby please take me home
Im tired of running (Take me home, Take me home)
Please take me home (Take me home, Take me home)
Its long along the road (Take me home, Take me home)
I cant stand alone (Take me home, Take me home)
Please take me home
Please take me home
Please take the wheel for the night
Lay me down clothes the blinds
Save me from hitting the floor
Dont leave me out in the cold, someone please take me home
