Take It From Here
¼Ö˹͡Justin Timberlake Lyrics

Sometimes (mmm)
At times, life becomes difficult and overwhelming

Sometimes the world gets hard
Life can be challenging and burdensome

Oh na na na
A nonsensical vocalization that does not contribute meaningfully to the lyrics

I'm gonna take it from here girl
I will take charge and responsibility for the situation, dear girl

Don't you worry
Do not be anxious, I will handle everything

I want to be your lake, or your bay
I aspire to be your peaceful and secure haven

And any problems that you have
I am willing to take on and solve any issues that you may be facing

I want to wash 'em away
I desire to eliminate and remove these problems from your life

I want to be your sky
I hope to be your expansive and limitless horizon

So blue and high
Representing the ideal state of tranquility and freedom

And every time you think of me
Every thought of me should bring about an intense reaction or sensation

I want to blow your mind
I aim to astonish and amaze you with my love and devotion

I want to be your air
I desire to be your essential source of breath and life

So sweet and fair
I want to provide a pleasant, refreshing, and delicate presence for you

So when you feel that you can't breathe
Whenever you experience difficulty or suffocation, I will be there for you

Ma, I'll be there
I will always be by your side

I want to be your answer, all the time
I aim to be your solution and answer to any problem, always

When you see how I put your life before mine
When you realize that I prioritize and value your life above my own

With no question
There should be no doubt or hesitation in my devotion to you

When all the love feels gone
When our love feels lost or nonexistent

And you can't carry on
When you feel like you cannot continue or persevere

I'm a take it from here
I will take control of the situation and uplift you

Just as sure as the sun will shine
As certain as the daily appearance of the sun

Every morning, every time
Consistently, without fail

I want to hold your hands
I crave the physical touch and connection of holding your hands

Review all your plans
I want to analyze and assess all your aspirations and goals

I want to make sure everyone of your dreams is there
I aspire to guarantee the manifestation and realization of all your desires and wishes

I wanna be your Broadway show on review
I want to act as a theatrical production that showcases and celebrates the beauty of your being

So I can act out how God was when he made you
I want to embody the creative and divine energy that crafted and shaped your existence

I want to be your lighthouse when you get lost
I yearn to be your guiding beacon and light when you feel lost or uncertain

I'll light a bright and shiny path to help you across
I will illuminate a joyful and promising path to guide you to safety and happiness

I want to be your mother, wait
I want to embody the nurturing and caring role of a mother

See what I see
Share my perspective and understanding

And when you see that can't nobody hold you like me
When you realize that no one can provide you with the love, support, and comfort that I can

'Cause I love you
Because my affection, devotion, and care for you are boundless

And when there's no one there to hold
When you feel alone and unsupported

And you realize the world is cold
When you understand the harsh and unforgiving nature of the world

That's what I'm gonna do
I will be there for you, always

Give me one reason why we should not be leaving
Provide one argument against our departure from this current situation or environment

This world is so deceiving, the time is now
This world is full of illusions and falsehoods, we must act urgently

Let's fly away speeding
Let us depart and escape quickly

Through the Garden of Eden
Through an idyllic and utopian paradise

Where all the sweet breathing of love surrounds
Where love permeates every aspect and breath of existence

Love ain't always the way they write in books
Love does not always conform to romanticized or idealized portrayals in literature

(No, no)
Expressing a negative response or correction

See there's the good guys
Acknowledge that some individuals are genuinely virtuous and kind

And also heartbreak crooks
Admit that some people cause pain and heartbreak

Your heart's the real one
Your heart is the genuine and authentic source of affection and love

Just take a look inside
Simply introspect and recognize the truth within yourself

'Cause it's a colorful illustrated guide
Because love is a vibrant and vivid symbol of guidance and clarity

So there you go
There is the explanation or answer

To help you weather the storm
To aid and guide you through the challenging and turbulent times

I'll be there mami
I will be there, my dear

No matter what time
Regardless of the circumstance or hour

No matter what place
Regardless of the location or environment

You can always count on me
You can perpetually rely on me

I'll take it from here
I will take care of this from this point forward
