Said her name was romance
I said I'm impulsive
Swallowed my nerve and ate my dignity
I think I've 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?
