Verse 1
Take me home
I don't know what I'm doing here
I've been lost for a long time
I don't know myself as well as I thought
Verse 2
Take me home
And let them finish the party
Kiss my face, my hands, my forehead
Let me see if the world falls apart
Verse 3
Take me home
And let me cry in your car's seat
I promise this is my last cigarette
Let me fall and catch me afterwards
Chorus 1
Take me home
Let's wander through this Lisbon
And see that home is a person
And that we both fit there
Verse 4
I'll take you home
Because your way still scares me
I know it hurts you and I know it's hard for you
Wanting to have the world and never having ground
Verse 5
I'll take you home
You never knew what it was like to have one
I see you running without any direction
To make a roof in my heart
Verse 6
I'll take you home
And I'll let you cry in my car's seat
If you promise this is the last cigarette
Let yourself fall and I'll catch you afterwards
Chorus 2
I'll take you home
Let's wander through this Lisbon
And see that home is a person
And that we both fit there
Outro
Take me home, I'll take you home
I don't know what I'm doing here
I've been lost for a long time

Agarra-me — Grab me / Hold me

Agarra-me translates to "grab me" or "hold me." It's an interesting word because it conveys a sense of urgency and vulnerability, which is central to the song's theme.

In the lyrics, the singer expresses a deep need for support and comfort, asking to be held when he feels like falling: "deixa-me a cair e agarra-me depois leva minha casa" (let me fall and then grab me, take me home). This word captures the raw emotion and the plea for connection in a powerful way.

This song is a conversation between two people who feel lost and find a sense of safety in each other. It starts with one person feeling completely out of place at a party, pleading, "Leva-me à casa" (Take me home). They feel like they don't even know themselves anymore and just want to escape. They ask for a safe space to be vulnerable, to "chorar no banco do teu carro" (cry in the passenger seat of your car), and to be caught if they fall.

Then, the other person responds, agreeing to take them home. This person sees their friend's pain and understands they've never really had a stable place to land. They offer themselves as that stability, saying they can "fazer um teto no meu coração" (make a roof in my heart). The song's most beautiful idea is that home isn't a building, but a connection. As they plan to wander through Lisbon, they realize that "casa é uma pessoa / E que cabemos lá os dois" (a home is a person / And that we both fit there).
