Take Me Home - Young the Giant

Sweetness

On the rips of your

Old dress

Twilight

Passed the banks of the

Warm fire

Whispers in the dark, they hit the trees

And they run into your heart to find mama’s sleeves

Daddy ain’t awake yet and daylight’s gone

You’re afraid of the dark, you think of mama’s bones

'Cuz I can’t live like this

'Cuz I heard your mama cry

Behind the door I’m listenin'

She said she’s gonna fly

With words your mouth she’s kissing

And she said

Oh oh oh, child

Your back is straight

Don’t let hurt curve it that way

Nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah…

Sweetness

On the ribs of your

Bare chest

Twilight

On the roof of that

Snowy night

You ran outside without your boots on

You could be lost, you find yourself at home

Where mama’s house is up on the sunrise

Sweet good God, just take me by surprise

'Cuz I can’t live like this

'Cuz I heard your mama cry

Behind the door I’m listenin'

She says she’s gonna try

With words your mouth she’s kissin'

And she said

Oh oh oh, child

Your back is straight

Don’t let hurt curve it that way

But I said mama, just take me home

Said I can’t stand bein' alone

'Cuz pain is shooting down my spine again

I said Daddy’s feelin' sick, oh I think he’s gonna quit

Nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah…

Sweetness

On the mouth of your caress

Twilight

Past the stars of that open night
