Strike the match or I am striking you out Cash the check, you know my body can count I need some time but you will know when I arrive So I wouldn't leave the motor running in the drive Hold me now or forever hold your peace Take me now or, baby, take to your knees Pull me in out of pure desperation I don't want to live in any hesitation I fight the need to be alone So I invite you to take me home I know I can be better than this Still I want you to take me home Push the clock until thе numbers fall down Hold the hands so they'rе not making a sound Suddenly everything that keeps my mind awake Will melt away when I am taken to that place I fight the need to be alone So I invite you to take me home I know I can be better than this Still I want you to take me home They say nothing lasts forever But my head is full of endless chatter Constantly talking about how I don't need anyone Yet reminding me that all I need is love So I fight the need to be alone So I invite you to take me home I know I can be better than this Still I want you to take me home I fight the need to be alone So I invite you to take me home I know I can be better than this So I, I still want you
