[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 hands - down...
I had a dream I was seven
Climbing my way in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waiting, impatient, 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 - down...
And all this time I have been lying
Oh, lying in secret to myself
I've been putting sorrow on the farest place on my shelf
La-di-da.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

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:]
But I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall.

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

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Now take me home, home where I belong, no, no
Now take me home, home where I belong, oh, oh
Now take me home, home where I belong, no, no
Now take me home, home where I belong
I can't take it anymore.
