Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And tell me everything
So I can understand your world
And you can understand my dream
Yeah I could be anywhere
And you could be there with me
But I just want to be a ghost
And see everything
I don't want it to be the way they want it
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet put your worry down
And everyone of you all around
Come on yall let's take this town
Let's take this town
It's better that we keep this close
Keep you close to me
Walking under every sky
Over every sea
You can be my modern girl
And I can be the one you found
If we're taking on the world today
I know we got to leave this town
I don't want it to be the way they want it
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet put your worry down
And everyone of you all around
Come on yall let's take this town
Let's take this town
Come on yall let's take this town
Come on yall let's take it down
On our own let's get away
Nothing more left here to see
Come on love make it perfect
More and more I will believe
Like a child I must believe
Come on yall make it worth it
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet put your worry down
And everyone of you all around
Come on yall let's take it
Everyone of you in this crowd
Come on yall let's take this town
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let's take this town
This town, this city, this crowd
We're taking on the world today
Come on put them up, and every one of you all around
We can be anyway, take this town
Come on put them up, we're taking on the world today
Take this town, we could be anywhere

In the morning wake me up
Start the day by bringing me up to speed
And tell me everything
Give me all the details
So I can understand your world
So that I can comprehend your perspective
And you can understand my dream
So that you can appreciate my aspirations
Yeah I could be anywhere
I could be anywhere in the world
And you could be there with me
You could accompany me anywhere
But I just want to be a ghost
I want to observe without being seen
And see everything
And witness all that is happening
I don't want it to be the way they want it
I don't want to live according to others' expectations
This town, this night, this crowd
This specific place and time, with these people around
Come on put them up, let me hear it loud
Raise your hands and make some noise, I want to feel the energy

And everyone of you all around

Exploring every possibility
Over every sea
Going beyond any limits
You can be my modern girl
You can be the person I relate to in this modern world
And I can be the one you found
I can be the person who you share a connection with
If we're taking on the world today
If we are going out to experience the world today
I know we got to leave this town
I know we have to move on from this place
Come on yall let's take it down
Let's break free from any limitations
On our own let's get away
Let's go on this adventure together
Nothing more left here to see
There is nothing else to discover here

I must continue to believe with the innocence of a child

I've seen OAR in concert twice in Portland, and I've met all of them once. They were kind and grounded enough to come out back and meet their real fans that were near their buses. They put on great shows and are very real people. Also, Jerry blows... a mean horn.

I have to say, this is one of the few bands that sound better in concert. It just goes to show how amazing talented they are as performers and as artists.
