Take Yourself Home Lyrics
[Chorus]
I'm tired of the city, scream if you're with me
If I'm gonna die, let's die somewhere pretty, ah, ah-ah
Sad in the summer, city needs a mother
If I'm gonna waste my time, then it's time to go
Take yourself home
[Verse 1]
Talk to me
There's nothing that can't be fixed with some honesty
And how it got this dark is just beyond to me
If anyone can hear me, switch the lights, oh, oh
And happiness
Is right there where you lost it when you took the bet
Counting all the losses that you can't collect
Got everything and nothing in my life
[Chorus]
I'm tired of the city, scream if you're with me
If I'm gonna die, let's die somewhere pretty, ah, ah-ah
Sad in the summer, city needs a mother
If I'm gonna waste my time, then it's time to go
Take yourself home
Take yourself home
[Verse 2]
Who you really tryna be when they see your face?
Is it worth it tryna win in a losing game?
Well, it's all waiting for you
And boy, I know you're eager
But it just might destroy you
Destroy you, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm tired of the city, scream if you're with me
If I'm gonna die, let's die somewhere pretty, ah, ah-ah
Sad in the summer, city needs a mother
If I'm gonna waste my time, then it's time to go
Take yourself home
Take yourself home
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take yourself home
Home, oh
[Instrumental Outro]

What has the artist said about the song?
Troye announced the song’s release in his newsletter with this message:
“It’s one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written. The song is kind of a pep talk with yourself and the place you’re from. Grappling with your place in the world. I write these songs as a diary entry, then as life and places ch...
What inspired this song?
I first recorded this song, I want to say in maybe August of last year, September of last year, something like that. I was in Sweden doing a writing trip. I started casually writing between tours. Because I was still on tour for ‘Bloom’ and I was just in between legs and I fucking love Sweden and I...
What was the songwriting process like?
So this song, it was in a few parts. So the first thing that he came up with, was that super, super vibey post-chorus thing with the baseline and everything. I was just like, “Oh my God, this is so sick.” But there was no acoustic guitar over it. It was just this baseline. And it was my first time w...
Did you know it'd be a single right away?
For me I definitely thought that like immediately. I think when I was listening to the song on the big speakers in the studio, playing it back, going from that chorus into that post chorus with the baseline, and the way that it made me want to move and the way that it made me feel so like sad, but a...
Why did you decide to release it during the COVID-19 pandemic?
We were sitting on this song and we’d been sitting on it for a couple of months now, and I had a plan to make music videos and release it probably later this year. Then the world started falling apart, and this song just completely changed meanings to me, and it became like a much bigger worldview s...
