Take On Me (Demo) Lyrics

[Intro]
Did you take it?

[Verse 1]
Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?

[Chorus]
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

[Verse 2]
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
That's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

[Chorus]
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
All things that you say
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I forgot to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?

[Chorus]
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day
