Take Me Higher
H2O ft. Billie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't
Take that away from me
Take Me Higher is a beautiful tribute to the classic love ballad "All Of Me," originally written by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons in 1931. H2O's collaboration with Billie takes the old classic and gives it a modern spin with its delightful synth and upbeat melodies. In this song, the singer puts their heart on the line, telling their lover that they can have all of them, as they are no good without their partner.
The verses of the song express the idea that the singer has been left empty and heartbroken since their lover left them. The singer wants their partner to see that they're incomplete without them, as the person has taken all their love and left them with nothing. The chorus is a plea for the partner to come back and love the singer wholly. The singer wants to turn over everything that they have to the one they love because they feel incomplete without them.
Line by Line Meaning
All of me
I'm offering you all of me
Why not take all of me
Why not take everything I have to offer
Can't you see
Can't you see that I need you
I'm no good without you
I can't function without you
Take my lips
Take away the words I would say
I want to lose them
I want to forget all the things I would say without you
Take my arms
Take away my ability to hold anyone else
I'll never use them
I'll never hold anyone else without you
Your goodbye
Your departure
Left me with eyes that cry
Left me with eyes filled with tears
How can I go on dear without you
How can I continue without you
You took the part
You took the piece of me
That once was my heart
That used to be my heart
So why not take all of me
So why not take everything I have left to give
Baby, take all of me
Please, take all of me
