Name: Take You Home
Duration: P00H03M54S
Description: One of the first songs Falaena worked on for the EP. Chris already had this as a complete song on acoustic guitar. Alex (keys), Chris (bass) and Dan (drums) worked on the arrangement, and soon realised that it sounded very good without guitar. This song was one of the motivating factors in the initial decision to use guitar-less arrangements in Falaena.

lyrics

Take You Home (Lipscombe)

She knows to hide all the bruising on her arms,
When she's outside, when she's alone.

Always with her, even when she's alone,
Her one and only soul.

She's stuck, out of luck and
Can't miss the love that she's never
Known, that she'll never know.

When he touches her, it still burns, but she's
Lost, so long, nowhere to turn.

When he hits her, it still hurts, but she's
Lost, baby she's lost for words.

She's scared of leaving, and she's scared to return
When there's nowhere else to go.

She's scared to turn the key, open the door
She stops and waits across the road.

She's stuck, out of luck and
Can't miss the love that she's never
Known, that she'll never know.

When he touches her, it still burns, but she's
Lost, so long, nowhere to turn.

When he hits her, it still hurts, but she's
Lost, baby she's lost for words.

When she thinks of death, he looks at her, says,
"I love you babe, ooohhh, oh I want to take you home".

When she thinks of death, he looks at her, says,
"I love you babe, aaaahhh, oh I want to take you home".
