Take Me Higher
Mellow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It'll never be ok (Never be ok)
And you wanna take it back
But it can't always go your way
Yeah you run run again yeah you run run the other way
What are you wanting to find
Tell me do you even know what you say
Oh it's a such a shame
And I was so afraid (I was so afraid)
That I'll never be enough that I'll never be okay
I just thought it was a lie thought it didn't have to be this way
So forgive me but I really really mean it when I say
No, it's such a shame
Oh, Someday
I'll be okay
And you'll never say
That I
I am not me
Concrete and real
And now I'm free
(Turn it down)
I'm coming out of the dark today
And I swear I won't hide I am here to stay
(Yo! What? Hahah Waihait! What? Stop it bro)
Never going out never lose my way
And If my demons come around try to take me down
Imma stand my ground and Imma get that crown
Oh
Noibody can take me down
One day at a time I'm leaving to be found
(It's always something else)
I won't cry
One day at a time I'm running from your eyes
(That I can't express)
I won't cry
One day at a time til I don't care tonight
I won't cryyyy
Oooh, Someday,
I'll be okay
And you'll never say
That I
I am not me
Concrete and real
And now I'm free
(Nobody can take me nobody can take me)
I'm coming out of the dark today
And I swear I won't hide I am here to stay
(Nobody can take me nobody can take me down)
(Yo ! What? C'mon! Yeah, I know!)
Never going out never lose my way
(Nobody can take me nobody can take me)
And if my demons come around try to take me down
(Nobody can take me nobody can take me down)
Imma stand my ground and Imma get that crown
(Nobody can take me nobody can take me)
Aaaaaaaaahh




(Nobody can take me nobody can take me down)
Oh, nobody can take me down
