[Intro]
The spot was empty
(Awaken to being taken)

[Verse 1]
Hurried around the block
(Trying to beat the clock)
But when I returned
(I learned… I was burned)

[Bridge]
The spot was empty
(Awaken to being taken)

[Chorus]
Like a parking space
(Can happen any place)
What once was free
(May no longer be)

[Verse 2]
Was gonna back it in
(Parallel parkin’)
How could a dirty rat
(Make a move like that)

[Bridge]
The spot was empty
(Awaken to being taken)

[Chorus]
Like a parking space
(Can happen any place)
What once was free
(May no longer be)

[Bridge]
The spot was empty
(Awaken to being taken)

[Chorus]
Like a parking space
(Can happen any place)
What once was free
(May no longer be)

[Outro]
The spot was empty
(Awaken to being taken)
No space left in this place
(Are you starting to see)
The spot was empty
(Awaken to being taken)

Taken in… (by beauty)
Starin’ (right at me)

[Verse 1]
I was so stressed out
I couldn’t take it in
Did a turnabout
… a restart (to begin)

Look to the sky
(For the answer, why)
Look deep inside
(Meaning hides in hide)

Taken in… (by beauty)
Starin’ (right at me)

If we figure out
About the love within
Maybe we’ll turnabout
And let the love (rise above)

[Intro]
That I was taken
(So I took another look)
Immense!
(To form a perfect tense)

[Refrain]
“have,” “has,” or “had”
(Could it be that bad)
Taken to the dry cleaners,
we couldn’t wear our winter coats…
… anymore.

[Bridge]
That I was taken
(So I took another look)
Immense!
(To form a perfect tense)

[Refrain]
“have,” “has,” or “had”
(Could it be that bad)
Taken from the oven,
the children excitedly ate…
… the fresh cookies.
(Woopieeee!}

[Bridge]
That I was taken
(So I took another look)
Immense!
(To form a perfect tense)

[Outro]
“have,” “has,” or “had”
(Could it be that bad)
Taken down to the cellar,
the darkness obscured the details…
… of the room.

ABOUT THE SONG
“Took” is the simple past tense of the verb “take,” used to describe a completed action in the past. “Taken” is the past participle, which is used with a helping verb like “have,” “has,” or “had” to form perfect tenses (e.g., “I have taken”) or as an adjective (e.g., “The cake, which was taken by the dog”).

• Taken down to the cellar, the darkness obscured the details of the room.
  • This sentence suggests that the “darkness” was taken down to the cellar.
• Taken by the stunning view, the camera snapped another picture.
  • This implies that the “camera” was moved by emotion and took the photo itself.
• Taken to the dry cleaners, we couldn’t wear our winter coats anymore.
  • This sounds as though “we” were taken to the dry cleaners.
• Taken from the oven, the children excitedly ate the fresh cookies.
  • This suggests that the “children” were taken out of the oven.
• Taken in by the convincing sales pitch, the new feature was a huge disappointment.
  • This sentence illogically suggests that the “new feature” was convinced by the pitch.
