A-Ha – Take On Me Lyrics 13 years ago
I think this song is about this guy who likes this girl but he doesn't know how to express it. I think the chorus is his thoughts.

"Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for you love, ok"

He's trying to get to know her but he's babbling not saying what he wants to say
He's keeps talking but when it comes to telling him he likes her--he shys away (bites his tongue)
but then he tells himself that he's going to get her one day.

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

This is in his head--he can't tell her how he feels so he's hoping she'd say and take him on because he feels like if she doesn't it won't go anywhere and he'll just end up giving up.


So needless to say
I'm odds and ends, but upbeat
Stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is ok
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

he really wants to tell her and but he keeps stumbling on the opportunity so he convinces himself that he could do this but at the same time he's hoping she would just tell him to say it...bring it up in a sense or give him a sign for him to take a chance and risk it.

The things that you say
Is it live or just to play
My worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

It's deeper into their friendship and she's basically flirting with him and saying things
but he doesn't know if it's for real or if she's just teasing him and playing games
He feels good around her---she makes him feel no worries
he can't stop thinking about her but now she's also shying away from the opportunity to say how she feels about him. Now it doesn't even matter to him anymore he's going to tell her how he feels.

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

he's basically told her or the process of telling
be my girl---take a chance with me
or he's leaving.
