Take It All Away Lyrics
So much beauty in life
Shining on the outside
Empty on the inside
I get lost sometimes
Blinded by the flashing lights
Distractions always in my eyes
So i'm following the sound, the sound of my heart
Beating
[chorus]
You can take it all away
I don't need it
Underneath, i'll still be the same
You can take it all away
I don't need it, it's not me
You can take it all, take it all away
I'll still be the same
Are you hiding still?
Don't you want to love yourself?
Don't you know that someone will?
Time can turn it around
Leave it all and strip it down
That's the only way to find it out
Are you following the sound, the sound of your heart?
Beating
[chorus]
Coming in with nothing, leaving with the same
It's all inside
Coming in with nothing, the only thing that saves
Is here inside
[chorus]
Shining on the outside
Empty on the inside
I get lost sometimes
Blinded by the flashing lights
Distractions always in my eyes
Beating
You can take it all away
I don't need it
Underneath, i'll still be the same
You can take it all away
I don't need it, it's not me
You can take it all, take it all away
I'll still be the same
Don't you want to love yourself?
Don't you know that someone will?
Time can turn it around
Leave it all and strip it down
That's the only way to find it out
Beating
It's all inside
Coming in with nothing, the only thing that saves
Is here inside

This song IS me. This is how I feel about my life. If you took something or everything away, I could make it through. I love you Ryan and look foward to seeing you live Novenber12th at the McDonald Theater!!!!!!!!!
i saw ryan in concert 2 weeks ago and he sang this song acousticly and before he said that this song is about everyone being into material possesions and that he feels like everyone focuses too much on what they have.. and that he said they could take it all away from him and he'd be ok because he still had god.
this song is my cry song. whenever i feel that i really need to cry but cant bring the tears out i just listen to this song over and over again. i feel like i can hecka relate b/c i dont really care about the material stuff.

beautiful
a song about realizing what matters, and not needing possessions or anything else but one person
I watched an interview when he was in a studio with John Rzenik and he was talking about the song (it was like, 2005. years ago when he was around more... I miss Ryan...), and he said it's about finding something more in life and how you should look beyond worldly possessions... There was more but I haven't seen it in years, so I won't quote anymore, but I love the song and remember those words when I hear it.
