Closing Time Lyrics by Semisonic

Feeling Strangely Fine

1998

[Verse 1]
Closing time, open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time, turn all of the lights on 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Closing time, time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time, this room won't be open 'til your brothers or your sisters come
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Closing time, time for you to go out to the places you will be from

[Chorus]
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
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 (Ah)

[Outro]
Closing time, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end
