[Verse 1]
I was listening to the ocean
I saw a face in the sand
But when I picked it up
Then it vanished away from my hand
I had a dream I was seven
Climbing my way in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waiting in patience for me

[Pre-Chorus]
And I was running 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 now 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
And all this time I have been lying
Oh, lying in secret to myself
I've been putting sorrow on the highest place on my shelf
La-di-da
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was running 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 now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore

[Bridge]
And I fell like rain is falling down
I fell like a stone against the ground
This emptiness inside my heart
Has been there from the start

I fell like rain is falling down
I fell like a stone against the ground
This emptiness inside my soul
Has been there all along
But I kept running
I kept running home
And I kept running for a soft place to fall

[Pre-Chorus]
And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?

[Chorus]
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go

[Outro]
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
