Take Me Home
Jess Moskaluke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And for old times you'd like to buy me beer,
But you, ain't gonna take me home.
You reach out and brush the hair from my face,
Look in my eyes, like nothing's changed,
But you, ain't gonna take me home
You probably had a fight,
she's probably waiting up for you, baby, right now,
You could stay here all night, like you just might,
Yeah, we both know,
you ain't gonna take me home
You move in close,
Like it's too loud in this bar,
You say that you and her are falling apart,
But you, ain't gonna take me home
You probably had a fight,
Slammed the door and walked out,
she's probably waiting up for you, baby, right now,
You could stay here all night like you just might,
Yeah, we both know,
you ain't gonna take me home
I know you had a fight,
Slammed the door and walked out,
I used to be the one, waiting for you right now,
You could stay here all night, like you just might,
But we both know,
You ain't gonna take me home
Still get me buzzing,
Everytime you touch my hand,
You're gonna lean in, try to kiss me,
But I'll just pull back,
So when she calls again,
Go ahead, pick up your phone,
Cause you ain't gonna take me home
The song "Take Me Home" by Jess Moskaluke portrays the situation of meeting an old flame at a bar. The singer of the song addresses this person, saying that they want to buy her a drink, but she knows he won't take her home with him. The lyrics reveal that they both have a history and perhaps they had a falling out in the past. The singer hints that the man may have had a fight with his current partner, but she's waiting for him at home. She also suggests that they may have had arguments in the past, and she used to wait up for him but not anymore. She admits that he still has an effect on her and it's hard for her not to be tempted to fall for him again, but when he tries to kiss her, she pulls back. In the end, the song concludes with the simple statement that he's not taking her home.
In summary, the song depicts a scenario that is relatively common in real life. The singer recognizes the attraction that still exists between them but acknowledges it will lead nowhere. It's a story of one fateful encounter and a reflection on the past. The song is touching and relatable to anyone who has had to confront a similar situation in their lives.

The one song about a dude wanting to cheat and the other girl not letting him, at least with herself, that's awesome πβ€οΈ

Me and my daughter located in Perth Western Australia (sheβs 23 her name is Jess too, the most amazing daughter) love country music, we both love finding artists we havenβt heard before (a competition). Tonight Iβm loving this song, listened to it 10 times, Iβm sending it to her tomorrow - just brilliant! Amazing song, amazing voice, amazing video... I love the light and shade of the video, as depicted by the tone of the song - very clever! all round - itβs a 10 from me! ( going to replay right now)
