    Take me home

    Just do it right
    Make it perfect and real
    Because it's everything
    Though everything, was never the deal

    So grab your things and stumble into the night
    So we can shut the door
    And shut the door on terrible times

    Oh

    Yeah, do it right
    And head again into space
    So you can carry on
    And carry on, and fall all over the place

    This is the trick, forget a terrible year
    That we can break the laws
    Until it gets weird

    And this is what you waited for
    But under lights, we're all unsure
    So tell me
    What would make you feel better?

    As night has such a local ring
    And love and rock are fickle things
    And you know it
    Yeah, you know it
    Yeah, you know

    Ahh, ah
    Ahh, ah

    Take

    Forget your past
    This is your last chance now
    And we can break the rules
    Like nothing will last

    You might forget
    Forget the sound of a voice
    Still, you should not forget
    Yeah, don't forget
    The things that we laughed about

    And after rolling on the floor
    And thankfully, a few make sure that you get home
    And you stay home
    And you better

    'Cause you're afraid of what you need
    Yeah, you're afraid of what you need
    If you weren't, if you weren't
    I don't know what we'd talk about

    Ahh, ah
    Ahh, ah

    Ahh, ah
    Ahh, ah

    Yeah, no one ever knows what you're talking about
    So I guess you're already there
    No one opens up when you scream and shout
    But it's time to make a couple things clear

    If you're afraid of what you need
    If you're afraid of what you need
    Look around you, you're surrounded
    It won't get any better

    And so, goodnight Writer/s: James Jeremiah Murphy
