Someone Called Sarah - Take Me Home Lyrics

Double doors slide open
Every word unspoken
But there is nothing left unsaid
It's a great big world right here
And I'd like to keep you near
Clutched to my chest and in my head
I can walk down the aisle with no uncertainty
This room is stocked full of possibilities
It's a life changing tale I bet
I just haven't lived it yet
So it's a mystery to me
I could stay lost in here forever
If it meant I would never
Have to fall in love again
The awkward first dates
Nervous sweats and shakes
I've given up entirely on men
(And, you know, people just in general.)
I'd rather pay the price
Than listen to dumb advice
About how not to die alone
Why waste my energy
Getting guys to notice me
When I have these pages (643 to be exact) to take me home
I could learn to cook cuisines
Or build a time machine (Not really, no.)
Nonfiction's got my back
When I've got nothing to lose
I'll read romance to
Make up for what I lack
I can meander through the stacks endlessly
Bored is something that I could never be
Yeah, love might be nice
But it comes with a price
So it's history to me
I could stay lost in here forever
If it meant I would never
Have to fall in love again
But there's perfume in the poetry section
She smells pretty, but what then
She might want to be friends
(Oh, is that what they're calling it nowadays?)
I'd rather pay the price
I couldn't possibly say hi
I'd rather die alone
Why waste my energy
Getting girls to notice me
When I have so many books to read
To take me home
They'd have to bring me more pleasure
Than reading books forever
And I've got great expectations if that's the case
(No, you mean impossible standards.)
Being a flower on the wall
Has some of the best perks of all
I don't judge a human by its face
(No, but you do judge them harshly.)
They'd have to make me love them more
Than all the books I've loved before
'Cause I could stay lost in here forever
If it meant I would never
Have to fall in love again
I'm more than happy to keep company
With the book that's right in front of me
Until the very end
A kiss would be nice
But I would rather pay the price
Than never get the chance to be all alone
It's so much energy
When someone is in love with me
They never want to let me be
It drives me to insanity
(You could just set some boundaries.)
They always want to take me home
But I don't wanna go home
I want to stay here forever
Because out there I never
Feel safe all alone
I don't want to need someone to take me home
(Ma'am, the store is closing) Home
(I'm going to have to ask you to leave) Home
(Do I need to call security?) No I can take myself home
