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.
