and took her to his awful home.

Meaning;
Tag You're It is about kidnapping. Cry Baby is alone, and gets kidnapped by a wolf, who has been watching her for a while. He offers her candy, and the tinted windows will make her hard to see. He eventually catches her after trying for a while, pushing her down and holding her mouth to make it hard to scream. She screams, but it's hopeless. She is taken into his basement and forced to care for him. The last chorus is sung angrily, as she accepts the fact she's been kidnapped. Tag You're it talks about slipping into a dark part of your life and giving up trying to be happy.
Music Video and Lyrics;
[Verse 1]
Looking at me through your window
Boy, you had your eye out for a little
"I'll cut you up and make you dinner
You've reached the end, you are the winner"
Rolling down your tinted window
Driving next to me real slow, he said
"Let me take you for a joyride
I've got some candy for you inside"
[Chorus]
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand
Pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Can anybody hear me?
I am hidden under ground
Can anybody hear me?
Am I talking to myself?
Saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
He's saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
[Verse 3]
Little bit of poison in me
I can taste your skin in my teeth
"I love it when I hear you breathing
I hope to God you're never leaving"
[Chorus]
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand
Pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Can anybody hear me?
I am hidden under ground
Can anybody hear me?
Am I talking to myself?
Saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
He's saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
[Bridge]
Eenie meenie miny mo
Catch a lady by her toes
If she screams don't let her go
Eenie meenie miny mo
Your mother said to pick the very best girl
And I am
[Chorus - Variation]
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand
Pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand
Pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
