Take Me Home Tonight
Red Sakura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel a fire, it's a desire
That tries to keep a girl awake at night
Are you the answer? Take me higher
When I feel you whet my appetite

I get frightened in all this darkness
I get nightmares, I hate to sleep alone
I need some company, a guardian angel

To keep me warm when the cold winds blow

Take me home tonight
I don't wanna let you go
Till you see the light

Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Love at first sight

Take me home tonight
I don't wanna let you go
Till you see the light

Take me home tonight
Listen honey

Love at first sight
Love at first sight
Love at first sight

Take me home tonight
I don't wanna let you go
Till you see the light

Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Love at first sight

Take me home tonight
I don't wanna let you go
Till you see the light

Take me home tonight
Listen honey

Love at first sight

Love at first sight
Love at first sight
