[Verse 1]
Talking away
Though I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone

[Outro]
Take on me
Take me on
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)
In a day (Take on me)
