[Verse 1]

Oh, I love you so

All I wanna do is touch you more

You killin' me slow and I dug that hole

Man I dug that hoe

But I'll never let ya go

I'm holdin' you tight but you hold me in a choke

A high speed train but I came off the rails

Thought I'd like the pain but you're a splinter in my nails

But gimme a hammer I'ma nail that wood

Never thought that it would feel that good

Hear everyone tellin' me that I shouldn't

But somethin' inside me tells me I should


[Chorus]

I'm begging you to take me away

I'm begging you to save my day

The falling petals don't mean a thing

I'm begging you to take me away from here


[Verse 2]

Damn it started out as one time

Two times, then it turns into a fun time

But nights end then you wake up with a dumb prize

I could feel cold in a bonfire

I could see dark in the sunlight

I could feel safe under gunfire

I was try'na hold my head strong

But I was dead wrong, so now I'm...


[Chorus]

I'm begging you to take me away

I'm begging you to save my day

The falling petals don't mean a thing

I'm begging you to take me away from here


[Verse 3]

Man I thought that I should let you know

That I didn't wanna let you go

Takin' shots, now I'm settin' goals

And I made it through the medical

I set the bar and I set it high

Back then they wouldn't let it fly

It's an illusion, wasn't paradise

Man I said it like a thousand times


[Chorus]

I'm begging you to take me away

I'm begging you to save my day

The falling petals don't mean a thing

I'm begging you to take me away from here


[Outro]

I hear ya voice (take me away from here)

Man I didn't think I had a choice

Lonely nights, I'm a product of fear

And I'm standin' here

Don't take me away, okay
