After two years of studying in Zwolle I returned to Groningen, my hometown, just for the weekend. I figured: I'll have some beers with some old friends, we'll go to the same bar and maybe I'll even get lucky ;). After all, who wouldn't want to know 'Whazzaap' with me after two years. As it turned out, I didn't encounter any old friends whatsoever and the faces I did vaguely recall didn't seem to remember me. I spent the entire evening quite self conscience thinking: can someone take me the hell out of here?
Otherwise I turned out great :p
lyrics
Can You Take Me Away
I thought they'd look up to me
Maybe wondering: Who is he?'
I thought they'd remember me and say:
Hey, now how'd you be?'
I thought they'd be kind to me
Together drinking joyfully
I thought i'd be nice to see
Walking by pretentiously
But it seems that i've made way
For younger guys in hipper clothes
can you take me away?
I feel so overexposed
Ooh, Oho, Can you take me away?
Ooh, Oho, Can you take me away?
'Cause I'm burning up in here
Maybe you can still save me
From my painfull misery
Maybe I just need someone
That makes me feel so good about myself
Oh, but still I should beware
Of younger guys in hipper clothes
I’m glad I am prepared
Of all the wulves I will dispose
Ooh, Oho, Can you take me away?
Ooh, Oho, Can you take me away?
'Cause I'm burning up in here
-instrumental-
Ooh, Oho, Can you take me away?
Ooh, Oho, Can you take me away?
Ooh, Oho, Can you take me away?
Ooh, Oho, Can you take me away?
'Cause I'm burning up in here
