The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Take Me There" by the artist "Westlife"

The song "Take Me There" by Westlife is about longing for a lost love and hoping for its return. The lyrical hero reminisces about beautiful moments spent with his beloved: night drives, kisses until dawn, dances, and intimacy. He wonders where they went wrong, what led to the breakup.

The phrase "Standing on the mountain" symbolizes his despair and desire to reach out to his beloved, a plea to be heard. He's afraid of losing everything and asks her not to say goodbye.

The repeating refrain "Take me there" has a double meaning. On one hand, the hero asks to be taken back to that happy time when their love was strong. On the other hand, "there" can refer to some abstract place where love reigns and where they can be together again. He believes that if his beloved knows the way, she can take him there.

We used to drive all night in your father's car

Used to get lost in time

Where did it all go wrong?

We used to kiss all night stayin' up through the dawn

Used to get lost in time

Where did it all go wrong?

Standin' on the mountain

Can you hear me call?

Don't wanna lose it all tonight

Standin' on the edge

Baby, just you and I

Don't wanna say goodbye

Don't say goodbye

So, one last time

Will you hold my hand?

There's a happy place

Won't you take me there?

I know this love

In a heart somewhere

If you know the way

Won't you take me there?

If you know the way

Won't you take me there?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

We used to dance all night in your favourite pop

Yeah, it was real good times

Where did it all go wrong?

We used to touch all night

Stayin' up till the dawn

Used to make love in the dark

Where did it all go wrong?

Standin' on the mountain

Can you hear me call?

Don't wanna lose it all tonight

Standin' on the edge

Baby, just you and I

Don't wanna say goodbye

Don't say goodbye

So, one last time

Will you hold my hand?

There's a happy place

Won't you take me there?

I know this love

In a heart somewhere

If you know the way

Won't you take me there?

If you know the way

Won't you take me there?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh

Standin' on the mountain

Can you hear me call?

Standin' on the edge

Baby, just you and I

One last time

Will you hold my hand?

There's a happy place

Won't you take me there?

I know this love

In a heart somewhere

If you know the way

Won't you take me there?

So, one last time

Will you hold my hand?

There's a happy place

Won't you take me there?

I know this love

In a heart somewhere

If you know the way

Won't you take me there?

If you know the way

Won't you take me there?
