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 lock out the world and we'll stay here 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? Open yourself up to me and surrender Can I take you home? We lock out the world and we'll stay here 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 Betrayed by clenched hands Wear your smile like a mask 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 here forever Say it to me, three letters Fall from your mind to your mouth [X2] Can I take you home?
