Closing time
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here

   Take me home

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from

So gather up your jackets move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend

Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.. yeah

Lyrics: 

Closing time - time for you to go out, go out into the world. 
Closing time - turn the lights up over every boy and every girl. 
Closing time - one last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or 
beer. 
Closing time - you don't have to go home but you can't stay here. 

I know who I want to take me home. 
I know who I want to take me home. 
I know who I want to take me home. 
Take me home... 

Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from. 
Closing time - this room won't be open 'til your brothers or you sisters 
come. 
So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits - I hope you have 
found a 
friend. 
Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's 
end. 

Yeah, I know who I want to take me home. 
I know who I want to take me home. 
I know who I want to take me home. 
Take me home... 

Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from... 

I know who I want to take me home. 
I know who I want to take me home. 
I know who I want to take me home. 
Take me home... 

Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's 
end...
