Letra de
Take Me Out

La canción Take Me Out de Franz Ferdinand fue escrita después de que la banda tuviera una revelación de que su álbum carecía de una pista de rock. Buscaban crear algo bailable pero que también tuviera influencias de bandas como Led Zeppelin. La letra habla de forma metafórica acerca de dar un paso hacia alguien, invitando a esa persona a salir, de ahí el título Take Me Out.

So if you're lonely
you know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot away from you
and if you leave here
you leave me broken and shattered alive
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot then we can die
Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh
I know I won't be leaving here with you

I say don't you know
you say you don't know
I say take me out
I say you don't show
don't move time is slow
I say take me out
I say you don't know
you say you don't know
I say take me out
If I move this could die
eyes move this can die
I want you to take me out

I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here with you

I say don't you know
you say you don't know
I say take me out
I wane this could die
I wait this could die
I want you to take me out
If I move this could die
eyes move this can die
c'mon take me out


I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here with you
