[Intro] (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
[Verse 1] I was listenin' to the ocean I saw a face in the sand But when I picked it up Then it vanished away from my hands, dah I had a dream I was seven Climbin' my way in a tree I saw a piece of heaven Waitin' in patience for me, dah
[Pre-Chorus] And I was runnin' far away Would I run off the world someday? Nobody knows, nobody knows And I was dancing in the rain I felt alive and I can't complain
[Chorus] But no, take me home Take me home where I belong I can't take it anymore
[Verse 2] I was painting a picture The picture was a painting of you And for a moment I thought you were here But then again, it wasn't true, dah And all this time I have been lyin' Oh, lyin' in secret to myself I've been putting sorrow on the farthest place on my shelf La-di-da
[Pre-Chorus] And I was runnin' far away Would I run off the world someday? Nobody knows, nobody knows And I was dancing in the rain I felt alive and I can't complain
[Chorus] But no, take me home Take me home where I belong I got no other place to go No, take me home Take me home where I belong I got no other place to go No, take me home Take me home where I belong I can't take it anymore
[Bridge] But I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall And I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall And I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall And I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall
[Pre-Chorus] And I was runnin' far away Would I run off the world someday?
[Chorus] But no, take me home Take me home where I belong I got no other place to go No, take me home Take me home where I belong I got no other place to go
[Outro] No, take me home, home where I belong, no, no No, take me home, home where I belong, oh, oh, oh No, take me home, home where I belong, no, no No, take me home, home where I belong I can't take it anymore
