Lyrics
We're talking away 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? Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two So needless to say I'm odds and ends But, that's me stumbling away Slowly learning that life is okay Say after me It's no better to be safe than sorry Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two
