Take Away the Ache Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take away the ache
I lie awake in the morning
Before the thoughts start forming
Getting in my own way
Nobody's gonna save me
And I'll be disappointed
Are your eyes yet open
While you're facing the other way?
[Chorus]
And I know that I'm asking for more than you can give
But isn't love just living like that?
[Verse 2]
Take away the ache
Make it over, make it an ember
We could keep each other warm
But only if we don't remember
Or turn it into dust
Apparеntly, it's just a powder
It rises and it bursts
And I feel it like I wanna
[Chorus]
And I know that I'm asking for morе than you can give
But isn't love just living like that?
Isn't love just living like that?
[Bridge]
I'll follow wherever you like
Oh, it happens all the time
The more you love, the more you lie
Say you're not going anywhere
And I'll follow wherever you like
It happens all the time
The more you love, the more you lie

What did Half Waif say about "Take Away the Ache"?
This is a song about the paradoxes of loving. How we ask the impossible of each other, how we promise what we can’t give. But I don’t mean this cynically—I actually find it quite remarkable. It’s kind of an incredible feat of imagination and will, the way we help each other transform our darkest mom...
What else have the artists said about the song?
I rarely use the looping function on my Boss VE-20 vocal pedal, but I was messing around with it one day and made the vocal loop that starts this song. I haven’t listened to much Arthur Russell, but for some reason I always think of him when I hear the vocal part that goes “nonononono”. It’s just on...
