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'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?
