Adam Gontier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To put my dizzy head beside my heart
And if I could just lie in silence here for a while
I′d picture all the times you made me smile...
I want you to know...
That if you go, you'll take a piece of me
And a pain inside would be too much for me to bear
So if you have to leave,
Promise that you take me with you there
If we could just stop time from going so fast
We take the moments in and we make them last
And if we could just try to look back at our lives
Back when we were young and we felt so alive
I want you to know...
That if you go, you′ll take a piece of me
The world I know would be brought down to its knees
And a pain inside would be too much for me to bear
So if you have to leave,
Promise that you take me...
I'll do my best to move on
Try my hardest to be strong
But I know you're always beside me
And every lonely road I walk on
Will hear me singing this song
′Cause it reminds me of you
If I could pretend
Pretend it′s a dream
It's not as bad as it seems
If you go, you′ll take a piece of me
The world I know would be brought down to its knees
And a pain inside would be too much for me to bear
So if you have to leave,
Promise that you take me...
And if you have to leave,
Promise that you take me with you there
The song "Take Me With You" by Adam Gontier is a heartfelt expression of love and loyalty towards someone who is important to the singer. The lyrics convey a sense of fear and pain at the thought of the person leaving and taking a piece of the singer with them. The opening lines, "If I could just try to reach out from the dark, to put my dizzy head beside my heart" suggest the singer is struggling with their emotions and trying to come to terms with feeling vulnerable. The following lines, "And if I could just lie in silence here for a while, I'd picture all the times you made me smile" indicate that the singer finds comfort in reminiscing happy memories.
The chorus emphasises the depth of the singer's feelings for the person, acknowledging that if they were to leave, it would be unbearable, "The world I know would be brought down to its knees, and a pain inside would be too much for me to bear." The song also expresses hope that the person will not leave alone but take the singer with them, promising to remain by their side, "Promise that you take me with you there."
In the bridge, the singer acknowledges that they will try to move on and be strong, but the person they love will always be a part of them, "I'll do my best to move on, try my hardest to be strong, but I know you're always beside me." They acknowledge that even in loneliness, they will remember that special person, "And every lonely road I walk on, will hear me singing this song, 'cause it reminds me of you." The closing lines of the song suggest a desire for the singer to be able to deny reality, "If I could pretend, pretend it's a dream, it's not as bad as it seems."

I remember when Adam said something like: "Man, I can't right pretty songs" Wow, what a change.
Anna L. Vajda
Well I saw some documentary and he said why would I write about flowers and things? and you don't talk about your feelings unless you are talking to your shrink etc. but he was in his early 20s then so as he matured he's willing to be more vulnerable sometimes for the sake of his art.
Anna L. Vajda
Write.
