Take Me to the Sea
Shake Shake Go Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me towards the sea
Let the waters sway along my feet
And stand with me
Unknown, by any souls
We can hide away
With no rules, no control
Lets leave, Let Go of great
As now I say that all I need is here with me

We're young and still naive
But we plan to escape to live free and easy
My eyes see paradise
When they wake to see tranquility and you're with me
Run fast, forget the past
Till we get so far, we don't know who we are
(bridge)
Take me, towards the sea
Let the waters sweep, along my feet
And stand with me
We're young but we're free

How we got so far, we don't know who we are
Ohohohohohohohoho yay, ohohohohohohohoh yay, ohohohohohohohohohoohohohohohohohohohohoh

Take me towards the sea
I want to go to the sea

Let the waters sway along my feet
I want to feel the water move around my feet

And stand with me
Please stand next to me

Unknown, by any souls
No one knows where we are

We can hide away
Let's find a place to be alone

With no rules, no control
We can do whatever we want with no one to stop us

Lets leave, Let Go of great
It's time for us to leave and forget about everything else

As now I say that all I need is here with me
I have you and that's all I need

We are young and inexperienced

But we plan to escape to live free and easy
We want to run away and live without any worries

My eyes see paradise
I am really happy with what I see
