Take You with Me
Tremonti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We stand up high with our battle scars
Never regret or fight alone
We'll stand apart on our fight song
Now take your hand in mine and never let go
I give my life defined, what you already know
(You already know)
I'll take you with me
We'll carry on
I don't mind waiting
Don't mind at all
Oh
Oh
Go disengage, liberate
You follow a chain to go your own way
Never forget where you been
We'll stand up high with our weapon
Now take your hand in mine and never let go
I give my life defined, what you already know
(You already know)
I'll take you with me
We'll carry on
I don't mind waiting
Don't mind at all
Oh
Oh
We've come much too far
I'll pass the word away
Embrace now who we are
We're standing up again
Found strength and now we know
Release and let it go
Let it go
I'll take you with me
We'll carry on
I don't mind waiting
Don't mind at all
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

@theandiller
Anyone noticed that anything Myles and Mark touch is not only gold but they're like the only guys in music business that constantly evolve with their projects?!
@austinmoser5056
theandiller ya they are ridiculously good
@mesherdakimi
theandiller So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
@jasonlovesmusicreacting882
theandiller No need to fanboy, there's plenty of other bands who also evolve. Look at how amazing the new Sevendust have been for example.
@austinmoser5056
Jason LovesABR definitely, shinedown, Trivium and Bullet for my Valentine are also amzing bands that evolve with every album... but literally every single song Mark has touched since creed and every thing that myles has ever touched is absolutely amazing... btw not hating on creed, creed is great in its own right, but not as good and not as epic as Alter Bridge and Tremonti
@menamgamg
Jason LovesABR bfmv never really evolved.. or i guess very slowly xD and in their case imo only for the worse.
@kevinm7561
My neighbor must like this song as much as I do! He threw a brick through my window so he could hear it better.
@matthewmedeiros5533
First Year of the Tiger from Myles, now Dying Machine from Mark, and then they get together for the mastery that is Alter Bridge. I dare say the best guys in the industry
@thomasweeden2683
Mark Tremonti is an underrated singer!
@jasoncolley7490
Thomas Weeden not anymore LoL
