Milo Greene – 1957 Lyrics 11 years ago
To me, the line "takes me away" references how the thoughts of her ex take her back to these memories of their relationship, which make her nostalgic - both happy and sad. But I'm guessing mostly sad. So she asks "would it be much better if I knew nothing about you?" That way she doesn't have to deal with those memories causing her to hurt or obsess over the relationship anymore. Then she decides that she'll gladly go back to that place in her mind because the memories are better than having nothing at all. Kind of like the quote (tis better to have loved and lost than never to loved at all).

God I love this song though. Makes my heart happy and sad all at once.
