Take On Me
Graziella Schazad Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Talking away
I don´t know what I´m to say
I´ll say it anyway
today´s another day to find you
Shying away
I´ll be coming for you love O.K.
Take on me
Take me on

I´ll be gone
in a day or two
So needless to say I´m odds and ends

But that´s me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is O.K.
Say after me
It´s no better to be safe than sorry.
Take on me
Take me on
I´ll be gone
in a day or two
Take on me
Take me on

I´ll be gone
in a day or two
