Take Me Home

(album: Phoenix - 2010)

It's the "touch"
And the "taste" that threw me off
Just another of those lines you're bound to cross
It's safe to say that this nights already headed in the wrong direction
"Well who's to blame for you being away?"
You know that's not fair for you to say
"I needed something to hide the pain

"So what's your reason for leaving now?
You never cared much for this place anyhow."
Oh
Foolish girl
You know that the past will always catch you

So just take me home
'Cause I need to be alone
All these thoughts race through my head
All the awful things she did while I was gone

It was a look on his face that turned her on
How could this feel so right
And go so wrong?
It's safe to say that you were never ready to let me be your one and only

It's just a shame that you threw it away
Trust me
I think about it everyday
Just wish there's some way to make her stay

Just another reason to leave this town
I never cared much for this place anyhow
Oh
Jealous boy
You know that your pride will never let you

So just take me home
'Cause I need to be alone
All these songs play in my head
All the awful things she said
You can just take me home
'Cause I'm feeling more alone
All these thoughts race through my head
All the awful things she did while I was gone

So grab your keys
We're leaving now
Take me away
Our time's run out

I've been stuck in these shoes before
So I know the worst is still in store
Won't be afraid to just want more
Than what lies in front of me
I built this up to break you down
And smear your name across this town

Now as you dive into this sea
Of lies
Deceit
Pride
And greed
My only hope is that you drown
One last way to make me proud
I'll do just fine here on my own
You'll never have to live alone

Take me home
I'm feeling so alone
All these thoughts race through my head
Of all that could have been
So just take me home
'Cause I need to be alone
All these songs play in my head
All the awful things she said
You can just take me home
'Cause I'm feeling more alone
All these thoughts race through my head
All the awful things she did while I was gone
All these thoughts race through my head
All the awful things she did while I was gone
Take me home
All these thoughts race through my head
All the awful things she did while I was gone
