I Want to Take You With Me Lyrics

I want to take you with me

Every fear starts as a teardrop. Â Â Â From a tear to torrent stream.
My love for you is my religion. Â Â Â Your happiness, my only creed.
I found comfort in the shadows. Â Â Â I was hiding from myself.
And when you listened to my story, Â Â The truth of it, I had to tell.

And I want to take you with me. Â To where the heart will know no fear.
I want to take you with me. Â Â Â Far away from here.

Was there ever, one so tender? Â Â Who draws a love from so much light.
And my own weakness does not offend her. Â My poor heart is her's by right.

And I want to take you with me. Â Â To where the heart will know no fear.
I want to take you with me. Â Â Â Far away from here.

She will bear his child in sorrow. Â Â And the children that we make.
But her heart I only borrow. Â Â Â 'Cause I'm not sure it's mine to take.

And I want to take you with me. Â To where the heart will know no fear.
I want to take you with me. Â Â Â Far away from here.

I want to take you with me

Every fear starts as a teardrop. Â  Â  Â From a tear to torrent stream.
My love for you is my religion. Â  Â  Â Your happiness, my only creed.
I found comfort in the shadows. Â  Â  Â I was hiding from myself.
And when you listened to my story, Â  Â The truth of it, I had to tell.

And I want to take you with me. Â  To where the heart will know no fear.
I want to take you with me. Â  Â  Â  Far away from here.

Was there ever, one so tender? Â  Â Who draws a love from so much light.
And my own weakness does not offend her. Â My poor heart is her's by right.

And I want to take you with me. Â  Â  To where the heart will know no fear.
I want to take you with me. Â  Â  Â  Far away from here.

She will bear his child in sorrow. Â  Â  And the children that we make.
But her heart I only borrow. Â  Â  Â 'Cause I'm not sure it's mine to take.

And I want to take you with me. Â  To where the heart will know no fear.
I want to take you with me. Â  Â  Â  Far away from here.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

What a great song! Robin's guitar is so classically Trower-sounding here, and his leads, riffs, and solos are so heartfelt through the notes. This sound is obviously about a woman who was being abused by her then current boyfriend/mate, and the singer is observing it and falls in loe with her while it is happening. He eventually wins her over and continues to treat her well, it then wonders if she ever really loves him, and does she still love the one who abused her. Davey Pattison does a great job on the vocals of this song, very expressive.
