Take Me
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking over all the things you said to me
You said to me
All your dreams are dying in the sun
Pretty soon there'll be nowhere left to run away
To run away
You packed your bags to leave by the morning
It's never or now
It's never or now
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't wanna be alone tonight
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
Memories of a life I leave behind
Take a souvenir to remind me of
The ones that love
Feel my heart it beats like a stopwatch
Running out of time with each tick tock
It's never or now
It's never or now
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't wanna be alone tonight
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't wanna be alone tonight
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
The lyrics of "Take Me" by Tiësto ft. Kyler England describe a person who is contemplating leaving their current life behind and starting anew somewhere else. The song opens with the singer waiting at a red light, reflecting on what has been said to them. They are feeling trapped in their current situation, and as the lyrics suggest, "all your dreams are dying in the sun." They pack their bags and prepare to leave, uncertain of what the future holds.
The chorus of the song is a plea to someone else, likely a romantic partner. The singer is asking their partner to "take me with you" and to not leave them alone. They do not want to be left behind to face their problems alone. The song speaks to the universal desire for companionship and support in difficult times.
The third verse of the song discusses leaving behind memories and taking only a souvenir. The singer's heart is "beating like a stopwatch," indicating a sense of urgency and time running out. Ultimately, the decision to leave is never an easy one, and the song captures this ambivalence. While it is never clear whether the singer ends up leaving or not, the song captures the longing for a new start.
Line by Line Meaning
Waiting for the light to change from red
Pondering on the mistakes made and waiting for a sign to proceed
Thinking over all the things you said to me
Reflecting on all the conversations together and thinking about its significance
You said to me
Recalling the exact words spoken that left an impact
All your dreams are dying in the sun
Realizing that ambitions are slowly fading away
Pretty soon there'll be nowhere left to run away
Feeling trapped and that escape is becoming impossible
You packed your bags to leave by the morning
Preparing to leave for a faraway place at dawn
Destination far off and foreign
Heading to a place that is distant and unknown
It's never or now
The decision of taking the chance must be taken immediately
Baby won't you take me
Expressing a desire to leave together
Baby won't you take me with you
Inviting the person to share the journey
With you
Being with each other is all that matters
'Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
Being afraid of being lonely on this journey
Memories of a life I leave behind
Reminiscing about the life left behind
Take a souvenir to remind me of
Keeping a memento to help remember this life
The ones that love
Thinking of the people who cared for and loved us
Feel my heart it beats like a stopwatch
Feeling anxious as the heart races, like a ticking clock
Running out of time with each tick tock
Feeling like time is running out as seconds pass
Baby won't you take me
Asking again for a chance to leave together
Baby won't you take me with you
Repeating the invite to join on the journey
'Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
A plea to not be left alone on this exciting and scary journey
