Cover art for Take Me (As You Found Me) lyrics by Anberlin

This...along with The Art Of War should give signs to think that this will be the last love song Stephen will ever write.

This beautiful song is about most likely a relationship in that final accord towards acceptance (and most likely towards the big plunge of marriage) which is literal and figurative in it's own sense. "Take me as you found me" is saying you should have me now after what we've been through or just leave me with no regard. Things like this don't just happen overnight so in the song he switches off by saying "Or leave me to die", "Or leave me tonight" because it's uncertain.

"Who's gonna drain my blood" saying who's going to get under my skin like you (said in adoration). "Who's gonna write all my wrongs) saying who will clean me up. "Who's going to tear me flesh, with a siren song" is like the first line saying who will be the same like you without being you?

"Leave me wanting" is him saying that he cannot live without her
