Take Me Higher
Russell McNamara Daniel J. Reynolds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a growing list of things
I need to shake off
Things I need to laugh about
Before they feel too raw
And I heard you live
A similar life
And it's been a while but I
Recognize you in hindsight
I know you've been looking so tell me if you find
Somewhere better than here
Scouring the maps even heard you got a scope
To search the atmosphere
If you were leaving tonight
Before the skies fade back to blue
Then I don't even need to know where to ask
Please take me with you
I loved a place
On the cliffside
Until the smoke moved in
Smothered all the daylight
You loved a place
On the shoreline
Until the water sent
You running at high tide
I know you've been looking so tell me if you find
Somewhere better than here
Scouring the maps even heard you got a scope
To search the atmosphere
If you were leaving tonight
Before the skies fade back to blue
Then I don't even need to know where to ask
Please take me with you
Take me with you
If you need me to I'll run
I've been dying to watch the sun
Set in a different space
There's so much I don't know
But I think that we should go
Before these feelings fade
I know you've been looking so tell me if you find
Somewhere better than here
Scouring the maps even heard you got a scope
To search the atmosphere
If you were leaving tonight
Before the skies fade back to blue
Then I don't even need to know where to ask
Please take me with you
Take me with you




Please take me with you
Take me with you

Overall Meaning

Reynolds communicate a sense of longing and restlessness, as the singer reflects on the need to let go of past burdens and embrace a new beginning. The opening lines express a desire to release the weight of certain experiences and find humor in them before they become too painful to bear. The mention of recognizing someone else who shares a similar journey suggests a camaraderie in navigating life's challenges.


The lyrics refer to the search for a better place, both physically and emotionally. The imagery of scouring maps and using a scope to search the atmosphere conveys a sense of exploration and a quest for something more fulfilling. The idea of leaving behind the familiar and venturing into the unknown is symbolized by the changing of the skies from dusk to dawn, signaling a new beginning and a fresh start.


The references to specific locations, such as a cliffside and a shoreline, represent different aspects of the singer's and the other person's past experiences.

These contrasting environments serve as metaphors for the highs and lows of life and the constant search for stability and peace.


Overall, the repeated plea to "take me with you" conveys a sense of urgency and a deep yearning for companionship and shared experiences. The singer is willing to leave behind the familiar and step into the unknown, guided by the hope of finding a better place or state of mind. The lyrics evoke a sense of bittersweet nostalgia for what was left behind, mingled with anticipation for what lies ahead.
