Take Me With You
Tanner Patrick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since I've had to let it go down
Had to let it go down
That was my sign it's about time oh
I've gotta let it go now
Gotta let it go now
Where do you go when you're trying to sleep
Where do you go when you're falling so deep
And the only thing you want is everything that you need?
Oh take me with you I was alone
I've been waiting how could you go?
Take me with you I wanna know
Why I'm waiting here by the phone
I wanna know I wanna go
I wanna know I wanna go
Calling for you got a clear view of
The places that you stay
The places that you fade
This is where it gets a little bit lighter oh
Tell me what you see
Paint it all for me
Where do you go when you're trying to sleep
Is there something you give or is there something you keep?
Where do you go when you're falling so deep
And the only thing you want is everything that you need?
Oh take me with you I was alone
I've been waiting how could you go?
Take me with you I wanna know
Why I'm waiting here by the phone
I wanna know I wanna go
I wanna know I wanna go
I feel the lowest lows of every day you're not with me
Like my brain exposed my heart on my sleeve
But I wanna feel that high of being on the inside
So please oh please take me with you next time
Next time take me with you
Oh take me with you I was alone
I've been waiting how could you go?
Take me with you I wanna know
Why I'm waiting here by the phone
Oh take me with you I was alone
I've been waiting how could you go?
Take me with you I wanna know
Why I'm waiting here by the phone
I wanna know I wanna go
In Tanner Patrick's song "Take Me With You," the singer seems lost and lonely, looking for answers and someone to hold onto. The line "This is my smile and it's been awhile" implies that the singer has been through something difficult and hasn't been able to genuinely smile in a long time. However, they also acknowledge that it's time to move on and let go of whatever is holding them back. This idea is reinforced in the chorus where the singer asks to be taken with the person they're addressing, suggesting that perhaps this person has the answers they're seeking.
The verse "Where do you go when you're trying to sleep / Is there something you give or is there something you keep?" highlights the singer's uncertainty and vulnerability. They don't know where to turn or what to do to ease their pain. The second verse further emphasizes the singer's longing for clarity and understanding. They want to know what the other person sees when they close their eyes and what they're holding onto in order to feel secure.
Overall, the song is a plea for someone to take the singer with them and show them the way forward. It's a powerful expression of longing and desire, set to an upbeat melody that belies the weight of the emotions at play.

This is my smile and it's been awhile
I haven't smiled in a long time
Since I've had to let it go down
Since I've been feeling sad
Had to let it go down
Had to accept my sadness
That was my sign it's about time oh
That was my signal that I need to move on
I've gotta let it go now
I need to let go of my sadness
Where do you go when you're trying to sleep
Where do you escape to when you go to bed
Is there something you give or is there something you keep?
Do you give or keep secrets when you're alone
Where do you go when you're falling so deep
Where do you go when you're overwhelmed with emotions
And the only thing you want is everything that you need?
And all you want is what you truly need in life
Oh take me with you I was alone
Please take me with you because I'm alone
I've been waiting how could you go?
I've been waiting for someone who left me
Take me with you I wanna know
I want to understand where you are going
Why I'm waiting here by the phone
Why am I waiting for a call that may never come
Calling for you got a clear view of
I'm calling for you and I can see where you are
The places that you stay
The places where you spend your time
The places that you fade
The places where you disappear or become distant
This is where it gets a little bit lighter oh
This is where things become a little easier
Tell me what you see
Please describe what you see
Paint it all for me
Describe everything in detail for me
I feel the lowest lows of every day you're not with me
I feel very sad every day when you're not with me
Like my brain exposed my heart on my sleeve
I feel very vulnerable and exposed
But I wanna feel that high of being on the inside
But I want to feel happy from within
So please oh please take me with you next time
So I beg you to take me with you next time
I wanna know I wanna go
I want to understand and experience what you are going through
