Take It Down
My Getaway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I'll take this down, just one last time. just one more and I'll be fine. lay your head on my chest don't be scared when I'm short of breath, it will be all over soon.

With my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again. with my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again.

My teeth clenched as I hit the bottom, I'm back again just me verses this bottle and I'm getting nowhere fast, I'm getting nowhere fast.

With my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again. with my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again.
Take this bottle down, doesn't it feel so good?*

I'll take it down.

With my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again. with my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again.





Never let time run out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to My Getaway's song Take It Down describe the struggles of addiction and the desire to make things right again. The singer is admitting that he has a problem and is taking one last drink, hoping that it will be enough to numb his pain and make him feel okay again. He asks his partner to lay their head on his chest, acknowledging that he may be short of breath, which could be a sign of a health issue related to alcohol abuse. However, he reassures them that it will all be over soon, implying that he is trying to quit drinking.


The chorus of the song repeats the line "with my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again." This lyric highlights the regret and longing that the singer feels, wanting to undo the mistakes that he has made in the past. He hits "the bottom" and finds himself back again, facing the same struggle with the bottle that he thought he had overcome. The last line of the song, "Never let time run out," may serve as a warning against wasting time on addiction and emphasizing the importance of seeking help before it is too late.

[Verse 1: Angel Taylor]
Doesn't take much to feel the rush
With nothing but your eyes on me
How 'bout we do just like we do
Two crazy fools just breaking free

[Pre-Chorus: Angel Taylor]
No, it don't matter what we've been told
I can see the skies are gold
Yeah, it's just you and me and open road, let's go

[Chorus: Angel Taylor]
I don't see no red lights, just a wild ride
You're my getaway, you're my getaway
Tonight, I'm gonna be alright
You're my getaway, you're my getaway tonight
You're my getaway, you're my getaway tonight
You're my getaway tonight

You're my getaway
I don't see no red lights, just a wild ride
You're my getaway, you're my getaway
Tonight, I'm gonna be alright
You're my getaway tonight

[Verse 2: Angel Taylor]
It's getting dark, let's light a spark
Ignite our hearts and burn away
This is our time, it's do or die
Come on, let's rise for heaven's sake

[Pre-Chorus: Angel Taylor]
Oh, it don't matter what we've been told
I can see the skies are gold
Yeah, it's just you and me and open road, let's go

[Chorus: Angel Taylor]
I don't see no red lights, just a wild ride
You're my getaway, you're my getaway
Tonight, I'm gonna be alright
You're my getaway, you're my getaway tonight
You're my getaway, you're my getaway tonight
You're my getaway tonight

You're my getaway
I don't see no red lights, just a wild ride
You're my getaway, you're my getaway
Tonight, I'm gonna be alright
You're my getaway, you're my getaway tonight
You're my getaway tonight
