Hello!
Could you please help me. Here is the song lyrics:

Claptone - No Eyes
(feat. Jaw)

It's a lonely night
Everybody's happy
Been turning around
Looking for a friendly light
But I see nothing
No eyes, no eyes on me

So many maybes
So many ways
So many ladies
So many men
[x2]

It's a lonely night
Everybody's happy
Been turning around
Looking for a friendly light
But I see nothing
No eyes
No eyes, no eyes on me (no eyes on me..)

No eyes

So many maybes
So many ways
So many ladies
So many men
[x2]

It's a lonely night
Everybody's happy
Been turning around
Looking for a friendly light
But I see nothing
No eyes, no eyes on me
No eyes on me

Near me

Can you see me lying?
Can you see why I can take?
Can you feel me thinking?
Would you save me if I fail

I would love to love you
I would love to be your man
But in loneliness, please leave me

No eyes
No eyes (no eyes...)
No eyes
No eyes on me

So many maybes
So many ways
So many ladies
So many men
[x2]

It's a lonely night
Everybody's happy
Been turning around
Looking for a friendly light
But I see nothing
No eyes, no eyes on...

I don't quite understand the following passage, especially the meaning of the phrase "Can you see why I can take?" Could you please explain what it means.

Can you see me lying?
Can you see why I can take?
Can you feel me thinking?
Would you save me if I fail

Thanks!

@Anna288,
Truthfully, you would have to ask the author for a definite answer. However, making a guess here it sounds like some one who was lonely, felt invisible, and was wondering if anyone cares.
