Said her name was romance, I said I'm impulsive
Swallowed my nerve and ate my dignity.
I think I'm making progress, she's faking naive
All this false innocence amuses me.
I don't mean to rush, or be obvious,
But like a magnet you keep pulling me
Into fixation, this mad compulsion
Don't wanna stop. Will you come with me?
Can I take you home?
Open yourself up to me and surrender.
Can I take you home?
We'll lock out the world and we'll stay there forever.
Say it to me - Three letters.
Fall from your mind to your mouth.
Can I take you home?
Am I second guessing? Am I asking too much?
One simple word will set the record straight.
Betrayed by clenched hands, wear your smile like a mask.
Your tightened fists, they give your heart away.
I don't mean to rush, or be obvious,
But my impatience keeps on dragging me
Into temptation, this mad compulsion.
And tell me now, will you come with me?
Can I take you home? (Can I take you home?)
Open yourself up to me and surrender.
Can I take you home? (Can I take you home?)
We'll lock out the world and we'll stay there forever.
Say it to me - Three letters.
Fall from your mind to your mouth.
Can I take you home?
Said her name was romance, I said I'm impulsive.

Can I take you home? (Can I take you home?)
