Take Me Over
Red Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Traces of your voice
I know it, I know it so well
Waking in the storm
I can feel you, I can feel you with me
Can I go again
Oh your reckless, your reckless life goes
I cannot defend, this untamed heart is waiting
I am standing on the edge
Take me over, take me over
See how fast this life can change
Take me further, lead me further

Take me over, take me over

Find my life ahead
Oh I don't know, I don't know where
But I'm starting on my way
Will you meet me, will you meet me there
Echoes in the night
Like a melody is haunting me
But then I meet your eyes
With the fire of a rising sun
I am standing on the edge
Take me over, take me over
See how fast this life can change
Take me further, lead me further

Do you believe a life can change
Take me over, Take me over

I am standing on the edge
Take me over, take me over
See how fast this life can change
Take me further, lead me further





Take me over, take me over

THIS BAND IS SOOOOOOOOOOO UNDERRATED! But it's okay, I don't want to share them with the world yet.

@chenhcharch3343

don't let other knows our favourite band lol

@hecdavid11

I know that feeling hahahaha. Unfortunately for me, even if I shared it with my friends, none of them would like it. People are so much into electro music these days :(

@taliahamed458

Red is ours, don't care if they're underrated or not no ones stealing them 😏

@dovoid9148

Anyone know bands and songs like that one ? there are probably a few good bands which are not much known ( like Red ) but make good music. thanks

@chase6790

Disciple is a great band and they share some songs that are similar in the mid-tempo rock kinda vibe :)
