Take on Me
Louie DeVito & Bad Boy Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another day turns into night
Eternal fire
Waited all my life
Take me away
A million miles away from here
Take me away
You're taking me higher
High as I could be
You take me away
Forever you and me
Take me away
The tears I cried
Kept them all inside
I needed time
To make up my mind
Take me away
Million miles away from here
Take me away
Find a place for you and me
You're taking me higher
High as I could be
You take me away
Forever you and me
Take me away
Take me away
A million miles away from here
Take me away
Find a place for you and me
You're taking me higher
High as I could be
You take me away
Forever you and me
Take me away
