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
In-in-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 here forever
Say it to me, three letters
Fall from your mind to your mouth
Can I take you home?
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? (Can I take you home?)
Open yourself up to me and surrender
Can I take you home? (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
Can I take you home?
Can I take you home?

Said her name was romance, 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? (Can I take you home?)
Open yourself up to me and surrender
Can I take you home? (Can I take you home?)
We'll lock out the world, and we'll stay here forever
Say to me, three letters
Fall from your mind to your mouth

Can I take you home? (Can I take you home?)
Open yourself up to me and surrender
Can I take you home? (Can I take you home?)
We'll lock out the world, and we'll stay here forever

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

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