about

Take Me if You Must - I started writing this song after almost getting hit by a bus. While walking home from University I slipped on some ice and made an attempt to maneuver so I wouldnt fall on my face and experience utter embarassment. My maneuvering led me to the roads edge and I swear I came by a foot away from a speeding Robie street bus. I walked into my Apt and began penning this song and by the end of the night I has sent a demo off to my producer.

lyrics

you wont take this heart of stone
no you wont no you wont no you wont
I dont think its worth the sacrifice
no i dont no i dont no i dont
but something in you pulled my out of the flames
ive lost all this doubt, perfected my aim
this rivers gon take me gone take me away
and I dont mind leavin today

i have lived good life
so take me if you like
keep on this narrow path
cut every lie in half
love lest my heart turns to dust
and if you decide still ill be satisfied
take me if you must

When that white horse come swing down low
im gon ride, im gon ride, im gon ride
onward through that blazing eye
i wont die i wont die i wont die
Cuz im on a highway strainin to end
like the wars of my father, their homes to defend
the hammer builds on as the sword reprimands
no i dont mind leavin today.

i have lived good life
so take me if you like
ill keep on this narrow path
cut every lie in half
love til my heart turns to dust
if you decide, ill walk into the brightest light
take me if you must

I dont want to fuss
So take me if you must
