Story Behind The Song
I was sitting with my Noni (grandmother) and she inquired of my song writing process. I picked up the guitar and started making up the riff. I think I wrote the song in about 30 min. I was going through a period of uncertainty with my boyfriend at the time. I think that is why the song has a sort of disparaging feel. My grandmother inspired some of the lyrics as I was picturing my Noni as a young girl in Catholic church when the first words came to me.
Song Description
Take Me is about someone reaching out for acceptance, love, ect. and finding themselves alone though crowds of friends may surround you. You are missing what it feels like to be in love.

Lyrics
Verse 1
You were the one who wore the crown didn't you
You were the one who sat and frowned in the pew
You said lets go outside
You said you wanted to run and hide, hide away
You could not stay
Chorus
Take me cause I'm alone
Maybe this crowds' not so friendly anymore
Verse 2
Two lovers sitting in a cafe' sitting quiet looking down
She wouldn't buy it cause his story was the tallest one in town
She said I'm going outside
And please don't follow me can't you tell I see
Through all your lies, but he said
Chorus
Verse 3
Here I am head in hands wondering
Will there ever really be just one for me
Cause I swear it's cold outside
And I don't think that I can bare another day of waiting
So help me please
Chorus
