Take
Longing and Consequences: Seeking Connection in Throwing Muses' 'Take'
Lyrics
I think I could like you
I am considering the possibility of liking you.
If you let me drive your car
I would like to drive your car if you permit me.
I think I might want you
I might develop a desire for you.
If you let me drive real far
If you allow me, I'd like to drive a long distance.
I won't steal your keys
I won't take your car keys without permission.
I won't try to be mean
I won't attempt to be mean or harmful.
Plus it might break you
Driving might break you emotionally.
Break you that might save you
If I break you, it might ultimately save you.
I pray to the god
I pray to the god who created you.
Who made you
I wouldn't break it
I wouldn't break something precious.
Couldn't take what isn't mine,
I won't take what doesn't belong to me.
'Cause I like you
I like you despite knowing it's not right.
And I know it isn't right
Just go about your business
Continue with your life as if I'm your wife.
And pretend that I'm your wife
Plus I could feed you
I am willing to provide for you.
Feed you 'cause I need you
I want to feed you because I need you.
I pray to the gods
I pray to the gods that I can please you.
I can please you
I hold a fistful of money
I have a significant amount of money in my hand.
Drag me down I reel you in
If you reject me, I'll pull you in emotionally.
If you don't think I'm pretty
If you don't find me attractive, I understand.
Just don't think you won't die
But don't assume you won't face consequences by a woman's actions.
By a woman's hand
Plus I might hurt you
I might cause you pain.
Hurt you, desert you
I could hurt you and leave you.
I pray to the gods
I pray to the gods that I can burn you emotionally.
I can burn you
Take to the road
Encouragement to take a journey.
Take me with you
Take me along on the journey.
Take to the road
Take me with you
-Bring me, this thing me
Bring me along, transform me.
I pray to the gods
I pray to the gods that you can change me.
You can change me
Take to the road
-Take me with you
-Take to the road
-Take me with you
Request to be taken along on the road.
