Lyrics
Will you take a message?
Expressing a desire for someone to deliver a message.
You know who it's for
Confirming that the message is intended for a specific person.
Will you take a message?
Repeating the request to have the message delivered.
And knock upon her door
Asking the messenger to physically go to the person's door.
Knock until she answers
Emphasizing the persistence required to get a response.
If you have to knock all night
Highlighting the effort and time needed to reach the person.
These words I want to say to her
Expressing a desire to convey specific words to the person.
Make sure you get 'em right
Emphasizing the importance of accurately delivering the message.
It's taken me some distance, it's taken me some time
Reflecting on the time and distance since a significant event.
I've needed some assistance, since she left me behind
Conveying a need for support and assistance since the person left.
Make sure she understands
Stressing the importance of ensuring the person comprehends the message.
I've thought the whole thing through
Indicating careful consideration of the situation.
The words I want to say to her
Reiterating the desire to communicate specific words to the person.
I hope they will ring true
Expressing hope that the words will be genuine and impactful.
I'd follow her around the world
Conveying a willingness to go to great lengths for the person.
If I thought it'd make her mine
Expressing a strong desire to win the person back through persistence.
I'd follow her to hell and back
Stating a readiness to endure challenges to change the person's mind.
If that would change her mind
Reiterating the impact of distance and time since the person left.
It's taken me some distance, it's taken me some time
Emphasizing the ongoing need for assistance since the departure.
I've needed some assistance, since she left me behind
Reiterating the ongoing impact and need for support.
It's taken me some distance, it's taken me some time
Continuing to highlight the passage of time and distance.
I've needed some assistance, since she left me behind
Repeating the need for assistance in dealing with the aftermath.
It's taken me some distance, it's taken me some time
Further emphasizing the enduring impact of the separation.
I've needed some assistance, since she left me behind
Continuing to express the ongoing need for support.
To get her off my mind, since she left me behind
Stating the ultimate goal of overcoming thoughts about the person.
