home

Take me back to my room on Mechanicsville Road With my drawings of flowers all over the walls My mom downstairs pushing all of our problems Under the rug My friends coming 'round on a Friday night 'Cause they know I got cigarettes and homemade wine We walk around South Street just killing time Falling in love Now I'm sitting here at this party And everyone's talking too loud Nobody here even sees me Can we go right now? Oh, won't you take me home? Oh, won't you take me home? L.A's fine when the sun does shine But I wanna go back to the Eastern Time To the people I know To the people you don't So won't you take me home? I wanna go back to the moment in time With the windows down, driving I-95 Singing Counting Crows, trying to drown Out the sounds of my mind I hate everyone at this party 'Cause they're so in love with themselves Nobody here understands me I wish I was somewhere else Oh, won't you take me home? Oh, won't you take me home? New York's fine in the summertime But I wanna be far from the city lights With the people I know And the people you don't So won't you take me home? Oh, won't you take me home? I don't belong at this party I don't belong in this town I need to go back where I started Can we leave right now? Oh, won't you take me home? Oh, won't you take me home? Oh, won't you take me home? (L.A's fine when the sun does shine) (But I wanna go back to the Eastern Time) Oh, won't you take me home? (L.A's fine when the sun does shine) (But I wanna go back to the Eastern Time) Oh, won't you take me home? --- home - Christina Perri
