I know a place that we can go to
A place where no one knows you
They won't know who we are
I know a place that we can run to
And do those things we want to
They won't know who we are

Let me take you there
I wanna take you there

I know a place that we've forgotten
A place we won't get caught in
They won't know who we are
(They won't know who we are)
I know a place where we can hide out
And turn our hearts inside out
They won't know who we are

Let me take you there
I wanna take you there
Let me take you there
Take you there
Take you there

I know a place we'll be together
And stay this young forever
They won't know who we are

Let me take you there
I wanna take you there
Let me take you there
Take you there
Take you there

We can get away to a better place
If you let me take you there
We can go right now
'Cause every second counts
Girl, just let me take you there
Take you there

    General Comment:it is unbelievable how much this song reflects my relationship. my boyfriend and i have gone through hell the past two months with our parents. our problem was way past complicated and i wanted out just because our parents wouldn't let us see each other. all we talked about was how much we just wanted to run off and get married and move where no one knew who we are. but considering we're only 15, that's rather impossible. i kept wanting to break up, we got into the same argument at least three times a week. i kept having these dreams of committing suicide, and for a person like me, it was absurd! i told him all these awful thoughts i had and he got me back in the right mind every time. there was something there that i knew i couldn't lose. something i had to have. i found that just a month ago and this song, and it has flipped so much around, that it's all worth it again. and there is a place we like to go, and no one really knows who we are, and we don't have to hide all our faults from last year. we can live on and forget them all together. he is the only one that matters to me in this world, and i'm so thankful he took me there...

    Memory:This song definitely has a great significant meaning to me. I'm currently in a relationship with someone whom I love very much. We're just about at 1 year and 3 months. We both go through a lot of drama independently with our families and friends, and of course the occasional drama between us that usually derives from those other problems. This song sends chills down my spine every time I hear it because it gives me this hope that one day her and I can escape to somewhere that we can just be together. Sounds simple, but it's such a strong idea. We just want to be together. We want to be somewhere that we can truly focus on appreciating each other and the love we share. Nothing else in the world would be better in my personal opinion. Love is one of the few things in life that I take seriously and it drives me. My girlfriend literally saved my life. At the time we got together, I was in a gang, robbing people at gunpoint, doing/selling drugs, and quite a bit of other things that I'm not proud of. I had just stopped caring. I felt I had no reason to try and succeed, so I didn't care whether I lived or died. She got me to leave it ALL behind. She didn't ask me to, but she made me WANT to. She made me want to be a better person for her, and for myself. She gave me a reason to live which, coincidentally, opened my eyes to all the things around me that were worth living for. I was blind to all the beauty that there is in life, and now I appreciate the simple yet beautiful things. Anyways, back on topic. This song provides a perfect dreamworld for me and my girlfriend that I hope to someday find.

    General Comment:this song is really important for me..i wan in a relationship..a long time ago..i was 3 years older than her and her parents had pr0blems with this..so we were hiding out besides all of these pr0blems.."I know a place that we've forgotten
    A place we won't get caught in
    They won't know who we are
    I know a place where we can hide out
    And turn our hearts inside out
    They won't know who we are"
    all of this part represents a lot of things which are importan for me..
    anyway it's a very emotional and sad song..

    General Comment:OK To be honest with all of you, I am thinking of Never Never Land when I hear this song.

    "I know a place we'll be together
    And stay this young forever
    They won't know who we are"

    General Comment:uhm. i think its actually
    "a place we'd forgotten"
    not
    "a place we forgot"

    General Comment:I think this song is worth commenting on only because it has a really significant message if you think hard enough. As a lot of you said, not the best album...but watevs. Anyway I think the whole thing about no one knowing who we are is commenting on how much being annonymous changes. i mean, think about it. When you're with ppl who know you and would certainly judge you, you can't be entirely uninhibited. it's like the song breathe by Anna Nailick. "these words are my diary screaming outloud...and I know that you'll use them however you want to". If you hold nothing back, you're sure to get hurt. However, if you're in a place where you don't care what anyone thinks you can be truely yourself. Like this website for example...i can write whatever and just hope for the best :)

    General Comment:I agree with HelloBeautiful, after hearing Hey There Delilah so much on the radio, it's not my favourite song by them anymore. This is gorgeous.
