Take Me Home
Love Takes Flight Lyrics

Drowning is much easier
It's easier to give up and let yourself sink rather than keep trying to stay afloat in an overwhelming sea of loneliness and despair.

Than treading water in these seas of emptiness
It's harder to just stay in one place and try to survive when you feel empty inside and there seems to be no end to the pain.

"I see you gasping for air"
The singer is offering their support and help to the listener, who is struggling to keep their head above water.

That's how you know I'm reaching out
By noticing the listener's struggle and offering help, the singer is showing that they care and are trying to connect with the listener.

I've been choking on the lies
The singer has been struggling with their own inner turmoil and dishonesty, which has been making it harder for them to connect with others.

"they've had you screaming out… for quite some time"
The listener also has been dealing with their own pain and dishonesty, and has been trying to express their emotions for a long time.

I tried so hard… it's so hard to say goodbye.
The singer has been trying to let go of their own pain and regrets, but it's difficult to let go and move forward.

These promises I've broken… I'm leaving them behind
The singer is making a conscious decision to let go of previous mistakes and move on from the past.

So take me back home!
The singer is asking for help and support from someone else in order to find their way back to a better place mentally and emotionally.

"I'm watching and I'm waiting for you to see the light Are you coming back home?"
The singer is also encouraging the listener to find their way back to a better place and is waiting for them to accept the help and support being offered.

I still see you
The singer is still aware of the listener's struggle and is offering to help.

The shore it seems so far away
Even though it may not seem like it, there is still hope and a way to reach a better place in life.

I'm tired now… I'll fall asleep
The singer is exhausted from the struggle and is ready to let go and rest.

"But I would swim with you… if you'd just take my hand"
The singer is offering support and encouragement, and is willing to help the listener through their difficult situation.

I'll settle for this restless ocean, Storms and emptiness no hope… A misery that fell in love me
The singer is describing the current state of their own life, which feels like a never-ending cycle of pain and struggle.

"but I'm holding on"
Despite the struggles and difficulties, the singer is determined to keep fighting and find a way through.

"Well I held this in my hands…then it poured down just like rain And I'll sing this song…of my pain!"
The singer is using their music as a way to express their pain and release their emotions, which has been a helpful coping mechanism for them.

"We've heard it all before…this story unfolds… and I'm coming back home"
The story the singer is telling is a common struggle felt by many, but it is possible to find a way back home to a better place mentally and emotionally.
