Take Me Away Lyrics
I was waiting all my life to know you
All about you
And now I'm staring in your eyes, ocean blue
I'm all about you
[Pre-Chorus]
And in our mind, it comes so easily
But there's a feeling coming over me
I wanna show you, but there's nowhere we can really be free
Everybody's watchin'
Wouldn't it be good if we could be together?
[Chorus]
Take me away
Take me far away from here
I will run with you
Don't be afraid
Navigate, and I will steer into the sun
We will run
[Verse 2]
I try to remember when I was just a child
In my room
And my imagination used to run wild
But never knew
Then nothing ever as it seems to be
When a dream collides with our reality
It should be easy when two people love each other truly
Everybody's talkin'
Wouldn't it be good if they would understand us?
[Chorus]
Take me away
Take me far away from here
I will run with you
Don't be afraid
Navigate, and I will steer into the sun
We will run
[Bridge]
We will run
Whoa-oh-oh
Boy, we will run
Oh yeah yeah
[Break]
Wouldn't it be good if they would understand us?
Wouldn't it be good if we could be together?
Take me away
Take me away
Take me far away from here
I will run with you
Don't be afraid
Navigate and I will steer into the sun
We will run
[Outro]
Run, whoa-whoa-whoa
I will run with you wherever you go
Don't be afraid
Let's runaway, and I will steer into the sun
We will run

It’s an interesting love song because, it’s just about two people that can’t be together. The song was written about Justin Timberlake when I was younger ‘cause he was my biggest crush ever and I had posters of him all over my wall. He ended up taking me on tour to Europe, so, it was kind of like he did take me away. It was pretty cool.

When the video for “Take Me Away” came out, I literally cried in my manager’s office because I didn’t think I looked beautiful and I was so petrified of that. Growing up, my mom’s white, my brothers are white, and my dad’s Black but he was never around. My Blackness was never really celebrated and I was never taught to appreciate those features, so that was hard. It wasn’t their fault, it’s just when you’re the only one that’s different in your household, you need more. You need to be told and taught and encouraged on a different level.
