Take Me On

You've been out all night

That's right

Underneath your black umbrella

Pales around the lights so bright

Like neon angels in the sky

But they don't fly

You walk by

As if the street

I'm hoping that our eyes might meet

Your heart's too blind to see me

That's the price of being lonely



If you want real love

If you think that you're tough enough

Take me on

Take me on

If you wanna be turned around

If you wanna touch higher ground

For the love that you've been missin'

If you think that you're not strong

Take me on



In a small cafe

All day

Staring in a cup of coffee

Time just slips away

Smoking your last cigarette

With no regrets

I say: hello

You look away

But there's a smile behind your face

There's something more between us

But your heart's too scared to stay



If you want real love

If you think that you're tough enough

Take me on

Take me on

If you wanna be turned around

If you wanna touch higher ground

For the love that you've been missin'

If you think that you're not strong

Take me on



There's a face in every window

A light goes out

Someone's alone, so alone

When they wake up in the morning

To another day

Another chance gone, gone



If you want real love

If you think that you're tough enough

Take me on

Take me on

If you wanna be turned around

If you wanna touch higher ground

For the love that you've been missin'

If you think that you're not strong

Take me on



If you think that you're tough enough

Take me on

Take me on

If you wanna be turned around

If you wanna touch higher ground

For the love that you've been missin'

If you think that you're not strong

Take me on



Take me on, take me on...
