Take Me to the Beach (Baker Boy Version) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Dan Reynolds]
People pleasin’ planet
Got a million people sayin’ how to plan it
I can no longer stand it
Gonna spend my days tellin’ them to can it
Each and to their own
Got a salesman ringin’ my phone
Tell me where to go
No, I don’t wanna hear the down low
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
I owe, oh-oh-oh
Nothin’, not a penny, never wanna hear you preach
No, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
Take-take-take-take-take me to the beach
Ah-ah-ah, you could have the mountains
Ah-ah-ah, you take the snow
Ah-ah-ah, it’s way too cold
My heart is cold enough
Ah-ah-ah, push comes to shove
Ah-ah-ah, you could have the mountains
Ah-ah-ah, I’ll take the beach
[Verse 2: Baker Boy]
Yeah, yeah, what a sweet life underneath street light
They just want crocodile, Dundee, not a deep dive (Yes, sir)
No attention, dude, no offence, but eventually,
I’ma jump this ship like
No CGI, don’t keep me hype, I’ma take my whole crib,
leave the city
Pocket full of sand since I was a kiddie
I’m a preacher, but a villain when I’m gritty
(Ha, ha-ha, ha)
Raŋi’lil nha bakgut bakgut
Ŋunhili ŋarirri nyoka ŋarali
Bathul Gurtha-ŋur nha
Latju wata latju water
Walu marrtji buma
Munhakuguman nha
Dhuwan-dja latju walŋa
Muka mäbygayirri ŋarra’ga
Yaka ŋarrany dhirr’yunnha
Bala liw’yun’nha liw’yun’nha
Me? I got a weak spot for the beach
Hotter than the other type of freaks,
I’m done with the streets
See Imagine Dragons Live
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Reynolds, Baker Boy]
I owe, oh-oh-oh (Ayy-yo!)
Nothin’, not a penny, never walkin’ on a leash
No, oh-oh-oh (Leash)
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds, Baker Boy]
Take-take-take-take-take me to the beach
Ah-ah-ah, you could have the mountains
Ah-ah-ah, you take the snow
Ah-ah-ah, it’s way too cold
My heart is cold enough
Ah-ah-ah, push comes to shove
Ah-ah-ah, you could have the mountains
Ah-ah-ah, I’ll take the beach (I’ll take the beach)
[Bridge: Dan Reynolds]
I’m better off alone
Like a rollin’ stone
Turnin’ off my phone
No one bringin’ me down, down, down, down (T-A-K-E, T-A-K-E)
Just give me some space
That sun in my face
And the days go on, and on, and on, and on (T-A-K-E, T-A-K-E)
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds, Baker Boy]
T-A-K-E, take me to the beach (Oh)
Ah-ah-ah, you could have the mountains (Have the mountains)
Ah-ah-ah, you take the snow
Ah-ah-ah, it’s way too cold (It’s way too cold)
My heart is cold enough (Oh)
Ah-ah-ah, push comes to shove (Push comes to shove)
Ah-ah-ah, you could have the mountains
Ah-ah-ah, I’ll take the beach (I’ll take the)
(I’ll take the) Take me to the
[Outro: Dan Reynolds]
I don’t have no friends, ask anyone
I got me ’til the end, my favorite one
(Take me to the beach; don’t, I’ll take the)
I don’t have no friends, ask anyone (Ask anyone)
I got me ’til the end, my favorite one (Take me to the beach)
