Take Me Away
Vertigo Deluxe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need another world
I'd like some wind to chase far away
I can't escape all these shades of gray
The sun will set
My heart has seen nothing yet
Unconscious of any consequence

Take me away I don't care where we go
Lead me astray just don't leave me alone
Take me to heaven lead me too far
Because I know I'll always be safe where you are

You're light as air




Here one day, next day there
I'd give my world to be with you
