  • This is no escape
    This is no surrender, my dear,
    This is my parade
    My happy ever after
    But only if you're here
    When I'm lost and broken

    Take me as I am
    Right here where I stand
    Open up your arms and let me in
    Out here on my own
    I know I'm not alone
    Let me in your heart
    Right where you stand
    Take me as I am

    We can take tonight
    And make it last forever
    If you dare
    Ooh, we can run away
    And take the world together
    But only if you care
    With these words unspoken

    Take me as I am
    Right here where I stand
    Open up your arms and let me in
    Out here on my own
    I know I'm not alone
    Let me in your heart
    Right where you stand
    Take me as I am

    Give a second chance
    We can take tomorrow
    Make it better, you and me
    Give me one more try
    Before we say goodbye
    Right here in this moment
    Here forever
    Everyday

    Take me as I am
    Right here where I stand
    Open up your arms

    Take me as I am
    Right here where I stand
    Open up your arms and let me in
    Out here on my own
    I know I'm not alone
    Let me in your heart
    Right where you stand

    Take me as I am
    Take me as I am
    Take me as I am
    Take me as I am
    Take me as I am Writer/s: DAVID COOK, MARTIN H. FREDERIKSEN, SCOTT CHRISTOPHER STEVENS
