about

"Take Care of You" is about the kind of friendship we're all looking for...the people who really see us and listen attentively as we pour our hearts out. All too often, talking about your feelings is like sharing YouTube videos: everyone's smiling and nodding and waiting for their turn to take over. The lyrics to this song are the words I'd love to hear more in hard times, and the words I endeavour to practise myself. Empathy is too rare and extremely beautiful.

lyrics

Baby I can see you from across the room
Looking down like you just can't recognize your shoes
With those eyes that seem to say you need someone
To take care of you

Oh you must think you're fighting this alone
There's a voice that sounds like yours who'd rather let it go
But maybe it's okay to let someone
Take care of you

You don't have to be the prince in your story
You don't have to hold the tears this time
I remember feeling lost and lonely
You made everything alright

CHORUS:
May I may I may I make it better
Show me where to sit to share the view
We can count the stars and I'll hold you in my arms
I can take care of you

So I'll listen to your troubles and I'll bite my tongue
The microphone is yours 'til the song is sung
At every turn of phrase you'll have someone
To take care of you

You know you're beautiful in spite of what you think
Even when you're down and sad about something
I'll love you anyway
I'll love you anyway

You don't have to be the prince in your story
You don't have to hold the tears this time
And for all the ways you've been there for me
making everything alright

CHORUS x 2
