Take It Away From Me
B4-4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm far away
Do you dream at night?
About us
When I close my eyes
I wonder if our story ends
Will it be?
You and me
How am I supposed to live my life all by myself
Baby how am I supposed to live without you?
Chorus
I'll give you strength
Gimme me your pain
Give you everything I've got
Take it awy from me
Give up the fame
Give up my name
Just to spend one night with you
Take it away from me
Now I wonder if
If we'll be ever be together
Will we have the bond?
That we had before?
It's so scary how
One day you can love somebody
Then winter turns to spring
And you don't know them at all
Pre Chorus

I don't know where you're gonna be

Girl you're gonna tell me that you told me so
Girl I need you right here next to me

Line by Line Meaning
Do you think of me?
Do thoughts of me ever cross your mind?
When I'm far away
When I'm not present by your side
Do you dream at night?
Do I ever come to your dreams while you're asleep?
About us
Do you imagine a future involving us?
When I close my eyes
When I'm in my own world, imagining things
I wonder if our story ends
I contemplate what will be the conclusion to our tale
Will it be?
Will the outcome be
You and me
our togetherness
How am I supposed to live my life all by myself
How can I continue my life as a solitary being?
Baby how am I supposed to live without you?
How can I carry on without you in my life?
I'll give you strength
I'll be your source of power
Gimme me your pain
Give me all your anguish
Give you everything I've got
Offering all that I possess
Take it away from me
Take all your struggles and hardships away from you
Give up the fame
Sacrifice my popularity
Give up my name
Forfeit my identity
Just to spend one night with you
Merely to relish one evening with you
Now I wonder if
Current consideration regarding whether
If we'll be ever be together
Whether we'll ever be reunited
Will we have the bond?
Will our relationship still be as strong?
That we had before?
As it was during our prior encounters?
It's so scary how
It's frighteningly unbelievable how
One day you can love somebody
On one day, you can have deep affection for someone
Then winter turns to spring
Then seasons transition from cold to warm
And you don't know them at all
And they become a mystery to you
I don't know where you're gonna be
Uncertain about your whereabouts
All I know is you're gone
All that's clear to me is that you're absent
I'll give everything I have to be with you
Ready to give all to be beside you
I know what you're gonna say
Anticipating your response
Girl you're gonna tell me that you told me so
You'll express 'I already warned you,' girl
Girl I need you right here next to me
I yearn for your presence beside me, girl
