Lyrics:
Bright, just like the stars above me
Proud, just like my mother planned it
Short on all the things I don't want
I’m full of love and longing
Take me by the hand and tell me
You would take me anywhere
You would take me anywhere
Still, ‘cause I don't want to move a thing
In hopes that you’ll fit right into me
And all the things I don't want
They're full of love and longing
Take me by the hand and tell me
You would take me anywhere
You would take me anywhere
Take me by the hand and tell me
You would take me anywhere
You would take me anywhere
And it goes, it's like a come on, come on to me
And it goes, it's like a come on, come on to me
You, you say you don't see any part of me
To love in all this mess and I know
You take the good and all the bad that comes with me
Take me by the hand and tell me
You would take me anywhere
You would take me anywhere
Take me by the hand and tell me
You would take me anywhere
You would take me anywhere
And it goes, it's like a come on, come on to me
And it goes, it's like a come on, come on to me
And it goes, it's like a come on, come on to me
And it goes, it's like a come on, come on to me

Trivia and Quotes:
“That's kind of a funny song because it almost didn't make it onto the record. We demoed all of the songs for the record prior to getting together with the band, and in some cases I got even so creative as to get a snare drum and an octave pedal and recorded my own drums and bass because I really wanted to hear what the song was gonna end up sounding like. I'm kinda obsessive compulsive that way. So when we got to the preproduction stage of the record when we got together with the band, it was really tough because in some cases we had given such a strong imprint of the song that it was tough to go away from it because everyone was like, "Oh, the demo sounds so great," and, "Don't change a thing." But as we played the song as I sort of played it on the demos, the enthusiasm and the power of the song kinda dissipated and we all kinda grew very disinterested in playing it. And then a friend of mine actually flew in from Calgary and I had given her some of the demos and she loved that song. She was really disappointed we weren't playing it and so one day we all brainstormed and really tore apart the song and started working on it. We call the drumbeat on Take Me Anywhere "poo-poo ca-ca". If you listen sorta like between the snare and the kick when he's hitting it, it sounds like "poopoocaca-poopoocaca-poopoocaca". And we thought that was just the funniest thing. We thought we were pretty creative actually, we thought we were the most hilarious creative geniuses ever. It stuck and we love playing the song so we ended up recording it and we owe it all to my friend Melissa.” - Tegan in 2005
