Take on Me
Det där bandet 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
Shining 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
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
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, things that you say, yeah
Is it a life or just to play my worries away?
You´re all the things I´ve got to remember
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
(Take on me)
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
(Take on me)
(Take on me)
