You left your scarf on the chair By the cracked blue window And I still hear your boots On the kitchen floor Your name in the glass Like a thumbprint fading I fold up my pride Then I drop it again If you call, I’ll come If you run, I’ll run Past the wet brick wall Past the broken sign Take on me, take on me Pull me through the dark Take on me, take on me Don’t leave me in the sparks Take on me, take on me I’m still at your door Take on me, take on me I can’t be blue anymore The hallway hums at night With the fridge and the heater Your lipstick on the rim Of a chipped white cup I wear that empty room Like a borrowed jacket It fits too tight And it drags me down If you call, I’ll come If you fall, I fall Past the rain on glass Past the siren call Take on me, take on me Pull me through the dark Take on me, take on me Don’t leave me in the sparks Take on me, take on me I’m still at your door Take on me, take on me I can’t be blue anymore Hold my hand in the crowd When the world goes sideways Let the old fear crack Let the smoke slide off I was half a ghost At the edge of your doorway Now I’m skin and bone And I’m beating back up Take on me, take on me Pull me through the dark Take on me, take on me Don’t leave me in the sparks Take on me, take on me I’m still at your door Take on me, take on me I can’t be blue anymore
