Take Me Down
Tina and the B-Sides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun is lost, it's hiding
And friends of mine don't talk to me
And all I feel is jealousy
I never thought I'd be wondering
Of different ways I can escape
Is life worth living for the fun of it?
Take me down to the finish line
Skip this part of the middle life
I'm not sure that I'm getting by without you
Without you
I don't know what it feels like
To live my life on the other side
Free from pain, free from anything that can hurt
That can die
That can die
And I don't feel I'm good enough to handle this
It's all too much
When you're not here, I'm giving up
That's it, I quit
No more, I'm done
It should be easier to stay in touch
So why am I always alone?
I've always tried to be so generous
But nothing's ever given in return
Take me down to the finish line
Skip this part of the middle life
I'm not sure that I'm getting by without you
Without you
Tell me more of the afterlife
What's it like there beyond the light?
Free from pain, free from anything that can hurt
That can die
That can die
Take me down to the finish line
Skip this part of the middle life
I'm not sure that I'm getting by without you
Without you
I don't know what it feels like
To live my life on the other side
Free from pain, free from anything that can hurt
That can die
That can die
