The Chainsmokers's song Takeaway is about a complicated relationship that is reaching its end. The lyrics suggest that the singer and their partner are struggling to navigate their feelings for each other, and they are uncertain about their future. The repeated lines "Your heart for takeaway" indicate that the singer wants to take the other person's heart with them, even as they leave the relationship. They are torn between their desire to hold onto the other person and their sense that it would be better to end things before they become more deeply entangled.
The song's chorus emphasizes the idea of leaving before loving, with the singer declaring that they will break their partner's heart to avoid being hurt themselves. The repeated "nah, nah, nah" refrain adds a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves to do what they know is right.
Overall, Takeaway is a song about the difficult choices we make in relationships, and the struggle to balance our own needs and desires with those of the people we care about.
Line by Line Meaning
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I want to take your heart, just for a short while
Hey, hey, hey
Where do you think you're going?
I'm curious about where you're heading
It's so late, late, late
What's wrong?
It's very late, is everything okay?
I said, "I can't stay, do I have to give a reason?
It's just me, me, me, it's what I want
I have to go, and I don't feel like explaining myself. It's my choice, my decision
So how did we get here?
Three weeks now, we've been so caught up
Better if we do this on our own
I don't know how we got to this point, but we've been really involved for three weeks. It might be better for us to handle things separately
Before I love you (nah, nah, nah)
I'm gonna leave you (nah, nah, nah)
Before I'm someone you leave behind
I'll break your heart so you don't break mine
Before I love you (nah, nah, nah)
I'm gonna leave you (nah, nah, nah)
Even if I'm not here to stay
I still want your heart
I don't want to fall in love with you because I know it will end badly. So, before it gets too deep, I'm going to leave. I'll hurt your heart before you have a chance to hurt mine. Even if I leave, I still want to take a piece of your heart with me
Fate, fate, fate
Is that what came between us?
Or did we do this on our own?
Did fate bring us together, or did we create our own situation?
