Can You Take Me Lyrics

In these days I wonder, why we're holding back on bliss
We blasphemy everything we see in a prelude to a kiss

I want the infidels' head on a pike
Riding on my motorbike

You and me are alike

So can you take me
Into days I never knew?
I want to riot
Let's start a riot, me and you
'Cause a riot's overdue

All I want right now
Is the time when we slept on the floor
You said right here right now
Is all I am living for

I got the velocity and all I need now is the mass
I just want you to ask

So can you take me
Into days I never knew?
I want to riot
Let's start a riot, me and you
'Cause a riot's overdue

Make it bigger and wider
I'm your mega collider
Bust you out, I have come to bust you out
I've come

Live in doubt, no longer live in doubt
No one
Humbly now, I ask for no resistance
And maybe now, oh just maybe now
We can bridge the distance

So can you take me
Into days I never knew?
I want to riot
Let's start a riot, me and you
'Cause a riot's overdue

Don't back down, don't compromise
Don't close your eyes
Here it is do or die
And you still believe the lie
And the world is for the meek
Well, this mouse is going to squeak
Yes, I am dying to be freaked

"We have these lives, they're bogged down in wanting this and that and if only's...and what we need to do is wake up and revel in all of it...life that is. There's something very rebellious about that concept. Rock, to me, is about the joy of rebellion. It seems it's when you have near death experiences, close calls, near misses is when we actually appreciate the simple phenomenon of being alive." - Stephan, MySpace blog

THESE ARE THE LYRICS TO THE ALBUM VERSION:

All I want right now 
Is the time where we slept on the floor 
You said, “right here right now 
Is all we’re living for” 

I got the velocity and all I need now is the mass 
I just want you to ask 

 Can you take me 
Into days I never knew? 
 Let’s start a riot (i want a riot)
 Let's start a riot, me and you 
'Cause a riot's overdue

Now these days I wonder, why we're holding back on bliss 
 you blast from me everything you see, i just want to give you a kiss 



I want the infidels' head on a pike 
 Riding on my motorbike 



oh you and me are alike


so can you take me
 Into days I never knew? 
 Let’s start a riot (i want a riot) 
Let's start a riot, me and you 
'Cause a riot's overdue


Let’s get it bigger and wider 
I'm the mega collider when i take you

Into days I never knew
 Let’s start a riot (i want a riot) 
Let's start a riot, me and you 
'Cause a riot's overdue


Bust you out, I’ve come to bust you out i’ve come to bust you out-- I've come 



Live in doubt, no longer live in doubt no longer live in doubt-- No


Humbly now, oh yes humbly now, I ask for no resistance, oh no resistance

maybe now, oh just maybe now 
We can bridge the distance

‘cause it’s so (?)



So can you take me 
 Into days I never knew?


Let’s start a riot, (I want a riot) 
 Let's start a riot, me and you 
 'Cause a riot's overdue



Don't back down, don't compromise 
 Don't close your eyes 
Here it is do or die 
And you still believe the lie you still believe the lie 
And the world is for the meek 
 this mouse is gonna squeak i am dying to be freaked 
Yes, I am dying to be freaked

It's

You blasphemy everything you see and I just wanna give you a kiss

Cover art for Can You Take Me lyrics by Third Eye Blind

This song is clearly one of the best on Ursa Major. Really pumping guitar riff and drumming in the beginning and choruses. It's just a really fun song and a great opener for the album.

It's a song about wanting to do something exciting and great, but wanting someone to bring you there. He wants someone to take him away. There's also some loose sexual undertones in this ("Now these days I wonder why we're holding back on bliss. You blast from me everything you see, I just want to give you a kiss.") He basically wants "it" whatever that is, but something exciting. Jenkins has always been a little peculiar in this area, lol, but you can get the jist of it.

The chorus is a little out of place with the let's start a riot, but again it's about wanting to share something exciting with someone. He wants gold, he wants fun, and he's ready.

Nonetheless, it's a great song.

My Interpretation

I love this song and I think he is talking about wanting someone to come into his life and really excite you, someone that surprises you and makes you want more. He says he wants "no resistance"- someone that will just go for it; no holding back. He is wondering if this person can really fill his longing for someone new, fun, and wild. Of course, it's obvious that he wants to have a sexual relationship with this person.. I think we can all relate to wanting someone to make us excited about life again (:
