Take Me Home
JackSavoretti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There’s a full moon on the rise
And a sadness growing heavy in my soul
You can see it in my eyes
I don’t know where to go
No i don’t know where to go

There’s a kindness in your smile
Please forgive me i can’t help but stop and stare
We can walk for miles and miles
I know you’ll get me there
Yes I know you’ll get me there

Take me home with you tonight
I’m not gonna make it down this lonely street
Take me home with you tonight
I’m not gonna make it on my own
My own two feet

Now the early morning sun
Is burning holes right through the mask i wore all night
Cannot take your hand and?
I’ll follow you for life
I’ll follow you for life

Take me home with you tonight
I’m not gonna make it down this lonely street
Take me home with you tonight
I’m not gonna make it on my own

Are you the one that i can live with
You’re the one that i can’t live without

Take me home with you tonight
I’m not gonna make it down this lonely street
Take me home with you tonight




I’m not gonna make it on my own,
My own two feet
