Take Me Away
Dobson Fefe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, was waiting all my life to know you
All about you
And now, I'm staring in your eyes and shake down
I'm all about you
And in our mind it comes so easily
But it's a feeling coming over me
I want to show you but there's no where we can really be free
Everybody's watching

Wouldn't it be good if we could be together?
Take me away
Take me far away from here and I will run
With you, don't be afraid
Navigate, and I will steer, into the sun,
We will run

I try, to remember when I was just a child
In my room
My, imagination used to run wild
But I never knew
That things are never as they seem to be
When I dream to life, it's my reality
It should be easy when 2 people love each other, like we
Everybody's talking

Wouldn't it be good if we could be together?
Take me away
Take me far away from here and I will run
With you, don't be afraid
Navigate, and I will steer, into the sun,
We will run

We
Will run
Woah wo wo, wo
We
Will run
Oh ya ya ya

Wouldn't it be good if they would understand us?
Wouldn't it be good if we could be together!!
(Take me away) Take me away
Take me far away from here and I will run,
With you
Don't be afraid
Navigate, and I will steer into the sun
We will run

I will run
I will run with you wherever you go
Don't be afraid




Let's run away and I will steer into the sun
We will, run!

Line by Line Meaning

I, was waiting all my life to know you
I have been waiting a long time to meet you and get to know you better


All about you
I want to know everything there is to know about you


And now, I'm staring in your eyes and shake down
Now that I am looking into your eyes, I am feeling overcome with emotion


I'm all about you
I am completely focused on you and our connection


And in our mind it comes so easily
It feels effortless and natural when we think about being together


But it's a feeling coming over me
I am experiencing a strong emotion that's difficult to express


I want to show you but there's no where we can really be free
I wish I could express my feelings openly, but we are being watched and judged by others


Everybody's watching
Others are observing our every move


Wouldn't it be good if we could be together?
Wouldn't it be great if we could be in a relationship?


Take me away
Take me somewhere far from here


Take me far away from here and I will run
If we could escape, I would run away with you


With you, don't be afraid
I want to be with you and I don't want you to be scared


Navigate, and I will steer, into the sun
If we work together, we can find our way to a brighter future


We will run
We will escape and start a new life together


I try, to remember when I was just a child
I often think back to when I was young


In my room
In my personal space


My, imagination used to run wild
I would let my imagination soar


But I never knew
I didn't realize that life would be so complicated


That things are never as they seem to be
Things are often different from how they appear


When I dream to life, it's my reality
Sometimes my dreams feel more real than my waking life


It should be easy when 2 people love each other, like we
Being in love should be simple, but it feels difficult in our current situation


Everybody's talking
People are gossiping about us and our situation


Wouldn't it be good if they would understand us?
Wouldn't it be nice if others could empathize with our situation?


I will run with you wherever you go
I am committed to being by your side no matter what


Let's run away and I will steer into the sun
Let's escape together and find a brighter future


We will, run!
We will overcome our obstacles and start a new life together

I remember when I was 11 and the moment I first saw this video and discovered Fefe was a black chick like me singing rock music and how amazing and unreal it felt to see her! I will forever love Fefe and breaking down racial barriers in music.

Heidi 19XX

I was just going to say the same thing. I wish she would make music again. Good rock needs to make a comeback.

tayy rocks

Yes Frfr I use to bumb this I was like yes!!..take me she gave me the whole gig👌🏿👌🏿❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏾😍😍

Mistress Loren

she actually still makes music, but its more pop sounding than her punk rock days.....still good music coming from her, but nothing like this album.

Grïsu

wtf does her race have anything to do with the music itself? "racial barriers in music" the fuck even is that? nothing is preventing any race from making music.

The first black girl who looked similar to me who did pop/punk music that I saw as a kid in the early 2000s. An inspiration, an icon. I wish she was more popular in America. Bless her wherever she is!!! 😭😭😭😭
