    Shying away
    I'll be coming for your love, okay?
    Take on me (take on me)
    Take me on (take on me)
    I'll be gone
    In a day or two
    So needless to say
    I'm odds and ends
    But I'll be stumbling away
    Slowly learning that life is okay
    Say after me
    It's no better to be safe than sorry
    Take on me (take on me)
    Take me on (take on me)
    I'll be gone
    In a day or two
