Note: This song I sang at my school's talent show. It earned me third place.

I just need some time
And I'll be fine.
I'll fix myself up.
I'll be alright.

I can be strong
But I can fall.
They expect me to always stand tall
But it's not like that at all
No...

So take me away.
Take me away.
My face is black and blue.
My faith is bruising.
So take me away.
Take me away.
My knees are aching.
My faith is shaking.

If I tried to be myself
I was treated like an object on the shelf.
I always felt so down
So down.

Then you came around.
You swept me off of my feet
And you carried me away.
Oh...

So take me away.
Take me away.
My face is black and blue.
My faith is bruising.
So take me away.
Take me away.
My knees are aching.
My faith is shaking.

High above the clouds.
Way off of the ground.
Flying away. Flying away.
In our own little fantasy.

Our days weren't numbered.
We had all of eternity.
No countdown clock
In our own little infinity.

So take me away.
Take me away.
My face is black and blue.
My faith is bruising.
So take me away.
Take me away.
My knees are aching.
My faith is shaking.

When I'm with you, time stops in it tracks.
I want to spend every minute of my life with you.
Every second of every day together.
Each and every one of the 86,400 seconds.
Every one of the 365 days in a year.

My grandmom always said, you'll know when you find the one.
When we first met, I wish I knew
Time stopped and the lights shown down.
And out of everyone in the crowd, it was you.
