Take It Down Lyrics by The Wailin’ Jennys

40 Days

2004

[Verse 1]
Take everything that we've had
Take it and burn it to the ground
Some things were never meant to last

[Chorus]
Take it down down down
Take it down
Take it down down down
Take it down

[Verse 2]
I'm still married to it all
That ain't no place to hang around
My love is fifty feet tall

[Chorus]
Take it down down down
Take it down
Take it down down down
Take it down

[Bridge]
And I've grown accustomed to the way
You hurled us into space
I'll never make that trip

Tears all rusted on my face
I'm just an empty place
Where your love used to fit

[Verse 3]
South Carolina, where are you?
You were once lost, now are found
The war is over, the battle's through

[Chorus]
Take it down down down
Take it down
Take it down down down
Take it down

Take it down down down
Take it down
