Your house that sits behind me
Is covered in ivy green

The windows that we watch from
Are old and chipping at the beam

It takes me away
Takes me away
Takes me away

It takes me away
Takes me away
Takes me away

The scent you wear moves in lines
From your apartment into mine

You act like you don't know me
My god, you tempt my anxious mind

And it takes me away
Takes me away
Takes me away

It takes me away
Takes me away
Takes me away

Would it be much better if I knew, nothing about you
Would it be much better if I knew, nothing about you

Would it be much better if I knew, nothing about you
Would it be much better if I knew, nothing about you

I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I

I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I

You act like you don't know me

Would it be much better if I knew nothing about you
Would it be much better if I knew nothing about you

I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I...

It takes me away

He's a writer. She's his lover. He's writing about the day they first met, along the way he gets lost in the recesses of his own memory. Still in a trance, he goes and jumps in the lake(it's what they did, the day they first met). The water brings him back to reality, a reality in which she's been dead for years.

The first time I heard this song, I was on a summer road trip with two friends. We were driving through the Alberta prairies, weaving through canola fields and cottonwood copses towards a festival site down near the border. I remember watching endless fields of yellow flowers pass by, laughing and bantering and thinking something to the tune of "What a perfect song for this." Eventually, we stumbled upon a dirt road that led down into a valley belonging to what I think was the Oldman River, or perhaps one of its tributaries. We parked, got out, and ended up spending some six or seven hours soaking up the sun. Caught a pile of crayfish, built a fire to cook them over. It was a genuinely perfect day. And whenever I hear this song, I go back to that. Flying down dusty roads. Catching crays. Swimming in the river. Dancing.

I really love this song.

For people wondering what happened to the girl:

I believe t hat the girl was just a part of his story, but he fell in love with her. The ending depicts him drowning in the reality of her not existing.

I believe this because the girl almost seems like a dream throughout the music video.
Also because nothing sexual happened between them, it was only romantic

There could be a lot of sexual happening while looking at someone's eyes

this mv is just a pieace from the whole short film that featured all the songs in this album, the film called 'moddison' check it out in full hd on vimeo. for me its like rorschach test, it have differences meanings base on how you see and feel about it at the moment or who you are as a person. its really cool concept and well made though.

this is the kind of song you listen to on your record player early in the morning while sitting outside drinking coffee. okay, maybe not, but this song (and video) has an ethereal feel to it that really does seem too perfect. four years later and I'm still obsessed. On another note, I saw them live AND OH MY GOSH. talk about perfection.

Oh my gosh, everyone was cracking up! Haaaa.... well enough about me, I LOVE YOU ANDREW AND MARLANA!!! KEEP MAKING AMAZING MUSIC! Lolz lots of love ;)

akbarovi

"It takes me away" is the main message of this song, which means that the singer is insane about somebody, and needs to be hospitalized, literally. Likewise, "would it be much better if I knew nothing about you" means because of you, I became an insane, literally. Hence, in order to become sane again, the singer is going for treatment. "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I".

That moment when he cries out at the end just hits hardest of all--- where did she go- where did she go

akbarovi

To take someone away means to bring them from their home to an institution such as a hospital. When in the chorus they say "it takes me away" they consider themselves as in need for being hospitalized. In other words, the person is crazy about and infatuated with somebody.

Their first album… One hell of a debut! I don't think they've quite matched themselves since… yet.

akbarovi

That somebody is in fact the singing person's neighbor or somebody alike. "Your house that sits behind me is covered in ivy green", this how the song starts. The second verse starts with "the scent you wear moves in lines from your apartment into mine", which indicates that they are neighbors. That neighbor is acting as if they didn't know the singer.

Liberty Hemming

This was the first song I ever felt truly connected to, and still probably 3+ years later I still love it so so much

Winnie Cheung

How it played out in my head was that she knowingly drowned herself. "Would it be much better if I knew nothing about you" ~ Could imply that she had secrets/dark past he didn't know or want to know about, perhaps wanting to keep an untainted image of her while she used this moment of a whirlwind romance with him to end it all while she's in a sort of happiness.

tristemelody

He was probably just recalling past memories. The song is called 1957 after all. And the moment he jumped into the water reality struck him. Nvm, I really have no idea. >x<

I happen to think that it was all just a dream in his head.... Sort of like in the Secret Window with Johnny Depp where they are writing a story and their brain takes off to the point of them imagining that someone is real.

I literally just woke up and I had listened to this song some odd 3 years back, I guess. I really liked it but it left me with a feeling of longing so I would not listen to it often. But yesterday night I had weird dreams where I was feeling more emotions than I do in real life and then I just needed to find this song. Thank god it was in my liked videos.
