please take me away, or let me be
should i truly be asking for a release
from someone who can look in my eyes
and see the stress i'm holding in
oh my take it away please
im begging you to rescue me

and i know its a bad decision
the sight of a smile i shouldnt crave
what are you doing to me
take your eyes off me but wait
i really cant make up my mind
but it's already been made
so i'll sever our touch
although im not sure its what i want

take yourself away
my dreams are not a place for you
jealousy is a cruel mistress
im searching for answers
but i already know where i stand
i cant shake the feeling when you take my hand
it's shameful i even know that rush
sit here recalling the moments of touch
between you and i
broken worlds collide
i see you and i beg you take me away

what should be a nightmare
i find desperate longing
and the gap of time is prolonging
and creating daydreams
that a girl should never see
not a girl with ties like me

what the hell are we thinking
i know i'm watching it sinking
my heart drops to the catacombs below
a tomb for the wicked and restless soul
the soul inside my pathetic chest
hidden by a hand you should take from my neck

just take it away
you'll realize it'll collapse someday
is that what i truly desire please tell me how i feel
i can't be trusted to make that up for myself

i know that we shared those scars
that hour that seems to be only ours
comprehension mixed with apprehension
and a touch of alcohol we alluded to
i can feel the flush of my cheeks
and the breath i forgot to take
oh please take it away

proximity, it means nothing to me
on a wednesday or a sunday it doesn't mean a thing
that red on my face it doesn't mean a thing
not a **** thing to me
i say it like "TAY-ke"
