[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

[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)
