Take Me Out
Franz Ferdinand Lyrics
So if you're lonely
You know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered, I lie
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot, then we can die
Ah
I say, "don't you know?"
You say you don't know
I say, "take me out"
I say, "you don't show"
Don't move, time is slow
I say, "take me out"
I say, "you don't know"
You say you don't go
I say, "take me out"
If I move, this could die
If eyes move, this could die
I want you to take me out
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here with you
I say, "don't you know?"
You say you don't know
I say, "take me out"
If I wane, this could die
If I wait, this could die
I want you to take me out
If I move, this could die
Eyes move, this can die
Come on, take me out
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here with you

So if you're lonely
You know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered, I lie
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot, then we can die
I know I won't be leaving here with you
I say don't you know?
You say you don't know
I say... Take me out
I say you don't show
Don't move, time is slow
I say... Take me out
I say you don't know
You say you don't know
I say... Take me out
If I move this could die
If eyes move this could die
I want you... To take me out
I know I won't be leaving here
With youI know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
With youI know I won't be leaving here with you
I say don't you know?
You say you don't know
I say take me out
If I wane, this can die
If I wane, this can die
I want you to take me out
If I move, this could die
If eyes move, this could die
Come on, take me out
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here with you
