Take You Home
Cassadee Pope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been talking your ears off
But I wanna know everything
And I got all night long
Are you tryna be someone for someone?
'Cause you remind me of where I come from
So boy, I know it's kinda soon
But I'll tell you what I wanna do
I wanna take you home
And I ain't talkin' about a two mile ride back to my place
Oh, this ain't the same old song about two hearts hooking up
One and done, on a Friday
No boy, I'm talking about a map-dot town, nobody knows
That'll tell you everything you need to know
About me and why I talk like I do and why I'm falling for you
And why I take it slow
I wanna take you home
Yeah, I wanna take you home
Daddy's gonna love you
He'll probably talk your ears off
Drive you by the little church
That saved me when I got lost
Take you down roads that I grew up on
Wish on those stars that I used to wish on
Kiss you on the bleachers on the 50-yard line
Boy, you know I
I wanna take you home
And I ain't talkin' about a two mile ride back to my place
Oh, this ain't the same old song about two hearts hooking up
One and done, on a Friday
Naw boy, I'm talking about a map-dot town, nobody knows
That'll tell you everything you need to know
About me and why I talk like I do and why I'm fallin' for you
And why I take it slow
I wanna take you home
Yeah, I wanna take you home
Oh I ain't trying to jump the gun
Sure ain't trying to make you run
But the second I saw you, I knew I had to get you alone
I wanna take you home
And I ain't talkin' about a two mile ride back to my place
Oh, this ain't the same old song about two hearts hooking up
One and done, on a Friday
Naw boy, I'm talking about a map-dot town, nobody knows
That'll tell you everything you need to know
About me and why I talk like I do and why I'm fallin' for you
And why I take it slow
I wanna take you home
Yeah, I wanna take you home
And tell you about me and why I talk like I do
And why I'm fallin' for you
And why I take it slow
I wanna take you home
In Cassadee Pope's "Take You Home," the singer meets a man who reminds her of where she comes from. She wants to know everything about him and is willing to take him home to a small town no one else knows about. The town will show him everything he needs to know about her and why she talks and acts the way she does. The chorus repeats her desire to take him home, not for a quick hook-up, but to show him a part of her life and introduce him to her family. The bridge emphasizes that she is not trying to rush anything, but she knew from the moment she saw him that she had to have him alone.
The song is a classic country story about introducing someone to the singer's way of life. The setting and background are important in country music, and Pope includes significant details like taking the man to the church that saved her when she was lost, driving down the same roads she grew up on, and kissing him on the bleachers at the football field. These details, along with the repeat of "I wanna take you home," drives home the point that she wants him to know who she is and where she comes from, which will help him understand why she talks and acts the way she does.

This album is so good, yet so underrated. She needs more exposure, the voice helped her for 5 seconds until the next season started. Makes me sad because she is so incredibly talented.
John Lombardo
my guess, to be perfectly honest, she didn't sell out to the contract, with talent like hers, and straight up, beauty like hers, they could have marketed her to be above any of todays so called best singers in the industry, but somehow she only has 300k followers.. doesnt make sense, monetarily speaking when thinking of the industry.. hope I am right, because she truly is amazing in every way!
Caleb Nelson
She’s still the best I’ve ever heard on The Voice.
Haley Dixon
Nah. Melanie Martinez

Hope this means more music to come, I love all of her music. From 11, to Summer, to I Am Invincible...she is so diverse. I honestly don't follow country anymore, but you bet I follow her.
