Lyrics

Take on Me

We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you

Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay

Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

All the things that you say, yeah
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember

You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone in a day
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)

I'll be gone (take on me, take on me)
In a day (take me on, take on me)

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
