[Intro] [filtered keys, distant vocal chop] Take me to… [tape delay repeats] Take me to… [Verse 1] I carried the rain in my chest for a while Learned how to move with a careful smile Days went thin, nights ran deep Still I kept a little fire underneath [Pre-Chorus] Now the air feels different Like the road just turned And the light comes dancing Over everything I burned [Chorus] Take me to the right side of life I’m ready for the sun on my skin I came through the dark with my hands held high Let the color come rushing in Take me where the grass runs wild Where the water shines electric green I’ve been low for a long, long time Now I’m rising out clean [Instrumental Break] [rubbery funk bass takes lead] [wah guitar answers the vocal melody] [vocal chops build around “take me to”] [Verse 2] You can breathe, you can loosen your grip The whole world changes one inch at a time Somewhere ahead there’s an open strip Of warm blue air and a sweeter kind of night [Pre-Chorus 2] We’re all half-flying We’re all half-scared But the beat keeps moving And it finds us there [Chorus Variation] Take me to the right side of life I’m ready for the sun on my skin I came through the dark with my hands held high Let the color come rushing in Take me where the grass runs wild Where the sky goes gold at the seam I’ve been low for a long, long time Now I’m waking inside the dream [Bridge] [beat drops to percussion and bass] If tomorrow looks blurry Let it shimmer, let it run No need to name the ocean Before we reach the sun [Final Lift] [full groove, layered harmonies, bright keys] Take me to… Take me to… The right side of life [Outro] [long instrumental outro] [funk bass and electric piano trade phrases] [vocal chop fades into warm delay]
