Take me home
Sometimes I wonder about you and how you're holding up
I think about your family, your stupid pick-up truck
And all those nights in your backyard, sitting there, just hanging out
We'd be laughing, running out of topics to talk about
I was the soft-spoken girl, the one that liked staying home
You were the life of the party, who was never alone
So different, yeah, but somehow you could light up my world
You made me feel wanted, like all of those beautiful girls
And everything always felt perfect in your arms, yeah, where I belong
It felt like I could survive even the toughest of storms, oh
And I don't know what happened, I guess I felt trapped and something just broke away
All I remember is you leaving, absent without reason, without me having a say
And now everything's just too much, my heart all busted up, I feel nothing but the pain, oh
And baby, with you gone, I'm totally withdrawn, I don't have the strength to face the day, no
CHORUS:
But if you tell me you love me, babe, that you see the same stars I do
Darling, I promise now till forever there will be no one but you
‘Cause baby, yeah, the sun is prettier, watching it set in your eyes
I miss thinking you're my forever, for the rest of my life
Yeah baby, I'm tired of being stranded and alone
‘Cause baby, you're my home
Darling, won't you take me home?
I loan you my fractured heart, yeah, you patched it up again
I gave you my broken smile that you managed to fix in the end
You gave me that light I needed to get out of the dark
You had my missing pieces somewhere tucked in your heart
And with you I knew I was happier than I'll ever be
but somehow that was exactly what ended up scaring me
And I guess I pushed too far, hurting what we had before
Yeah, I was the reason for you leaving through that door
You tried to rescue us, like you saved me a few moths ago
But I didn't let you in, oh, though you gave it your all
No, I wasn't ready to admit was the reason for losing you, no
CHORUS
Darling, I love how you always say when instead of if
like everything's possible, when you and I just believe
I love how you still like to watch little boy cartoons
And I love our midnight breakfast, yeah, sitting on my roof
Baby, you're where I want to be when things aren't going right
Darling, where I want to be at the end of every night
Yeah, you're my beginning, my end, the type of story I’d read again (and again)
You're the only home I know, the only place I feel safe
Darling, I want to wake up, staring at your open face
‘Cause baby, you're my home
Yeah, the only one I’ll ever want to know
Baby, please, please take me home
And I know I messed it up, I know I hurt you so badly
but in your arms is the only place I've ever wanted to be
And I apologize, I'm begging on my knees
Darling, forgive me, without you is no life for me, no
CHORUS
Baby, I want to spend the rest of my life with you
Darling, please tell me you feel the same way too
