Take Me Away
Inshow-ha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're 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 your love, okay?

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (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, the things that you say, yeah
Is it life or
Just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day

(Take on me, take on me)
(Take me on, take on me)
I'll be gone (take on me, take on me)
In a day (take me on, take on me)
(Take on me, take on me)




(Take me on, take on me)
(Take on me)

音楽のセンスもすごいが、詩のセンスがどの曲も天才的だな。レベル高すぎて、大衆受けしないのか?
