Take Me Out Lyrics

that sound coming from those holes
a voice that soars
and takes my wounds with it
to levels unknown
if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to a relationship i don't understand
if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to myself that's dying within

your soul pours out of those holes
music of this crazy time
when your car crashed
did your ghost find peace
and together entwine?

if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to a relationship i don't understand
if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to myself that's dying within

Cover art for Take Me Out lyrics by Red House Painters

This song, in the classic Kozelek-simplicity-way, beautifully captures that relationships practiced the way they are suppoused to be, that people acting toward one another in they way they are suppoused to act, really is not ideal. The common view of monogamous love is wicked, and not at all designed for the ultimate happiness. I\'m thinking: going to the movies, cooking together, reading together, and being codependent on one another. Instead: Kozelek wants to feel alive, and go outside, view the real life, and have some adventure, instead of this cozy, comfortable nightmare. \n\nAt least that is my interpretation, I think?
