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?
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?

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 there forever

Say it to me, three letters
Fall from your mind to your mouth

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

Can I take you home?
Can I take you home?

Say it to me, three letters
Fall from your mind to your mouth
Can I take you home?
