Take You There
Through the Roots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You probably think that you got me too
You're funny like the times I'd go spinning in a hot pursuit
Oh are you chasing me or am I chasing you?
It's like a game that we keep playin' baby
Just drivin' me crazy
I think it's about time to let you know
Just come with me let's go
I'll take you there
We can get out of here and disappear
Let's go somewhere
So you can bring that sexy body
We share
Just gonna love all night no one else will ever know
So when you're ready to go
I'll take you there
Ever since the beginning you got me
You have me in your sights and you shot me
I love the way how it felt when it hit me
It's for everytime I see you, you get me
Like a love grenade, a burning flame
Your energy is so insane
You heat me up, you make me melt and then you cool me down like rain
You got me feelin' like, we can do this right?
Let's watch our shadows dance in the candle light, tonight
We can do this right?
Let's watch our shadows dance in the candle light
Let's put this world on hold
Just you and me let's go
I'll take you there
We can get out of here and disappear
Let's go somewhere
So you can bring that sexy body
We share
Just gonna love all night no one else will ever know
So when you're ready to go
I'll take you there
I'll take you there
We can get out of here and disappear
Let's go somewhere
So you can bring that sexy body
We share
Just gonna love all night no one else will ever know
So when you're ready to go
I'll take you there
We can get out of here and disappear
Let's go somewhere
So you can bring that sexy body
We share
Just gonna love all night no one else will ever know
So when you're ready to go
I'll take you there

Honestly i was never a big TTR fan, i always thought their previous releases just werent as good as some others i was hearing like Fortuate Youth, The Green, Tribal etc. but this track and this album are fucking fire. It sucks they took hella days to release a full legnth album but they obviously were doing something right with that time. Big ups TTR and i will def be checking yall out live when the Automatic tour hits San Francisco
