Take You There
H.E.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who you know?
How I've been living without you
Daydreaming, on a car with you like horizon
With you 'til the night ends on a island, yeah
It's about time we're making up
The times you wasn't with me waking up
I needed to, I needed to
Needed to distance myself from you
All just to know you are the truth
So come close I want you, want you
Can I tell you something for what it's worth?
With you Heaven is a place on Earth
And I will take you there, I'll take you
I'll show you something, give you more than words
With you Heaven is a place on Earth
And I will take you there, I'll take you there
Take you there
Fill me up, 'til my cup's overflowing
I'm so anxious just to feel the silence
It's so quiet, but I hear you
Saying to me, baby
It's about time we're making up (time we're making up)
Times you wasn't with me waking up
Lying if I said I didn't miss your touch
I needed to, I needed to
Needed to distance myself from you
All just to know you are the truth
So come close I want you, want you
Can I tell you something for what it's worth?
With you Heaven is a place on Earth
And I will take you there, I'll take you
I'll show you something give you more than words
With you Heaven is a place on Earth
And I will take you there, I'll take you there, yeah
Take you there
Give me, please me, don't tease me
Love me, give me that feeling
I want you to give it to me, yeah, yeah
Give me, please me, don't tease me
Love me, give me that feeling
I want you to give it to me, yeah, yeah
Take me high, high
