Take Me Clear From Here
[Verse 1]
Take me clear from here, I don't want this life
You want me to live
Take me clear from here, I don’t want this life
You're trying to give me, no, no
Well, as long as the fire's burnin’ deep inside
I will never end this yearning to see, oh, to see, to see
[Verse 2]
Take me clear from here, I don't want this waste of time
Well, as long as the fire's burning deep inside
I've a never-endless yearnin' to see, oh, to see, to see
What I want to say is
[Bridge]
And if I do not, and if I do not go away, I know you know
That I'll be old and grey before my time
Well, it would take a while, it would take a while before I can do it again
Oh, the different ways that you tried to break my mind
So all I want you to do is
[Verse 3]
Take me clear from here, I don't want this life
You want me to live
Take me clear from here, I don't need this waste of time
Oh, can’t you see
As long as the fire’s burnin' deep inside
I will never end this yearning to feel, oh, to touch, don’t you wanna love, love
Don't you want a Leo?
[Verse 4]
So come on and take me
Take me clear from here, I don't need this life
You want me to live
Take me clear from here, I don't need, I don’t need this waste of time
Oh, no
Come on, take me
Take me clear from here, I don't need, I don't need this waste of time
Take me clear from here, I don't want this life
That you want me to live
Come on and take me
Take me, no, take me clear from here
