McDell, Jamie - You'll Never Take That Away Lyrics






Can’t you see I’m just a writer
Learned enough to never be a liar again
Don’t you know I’m not an actress
Taught myself to never ever try to pretend
Don’t get me wrong
I, I have what you don’t

I have a heart that’s covered in scars
I got a beach, a melody and a guitar
Got a dream that’s bigger than me
I’ve got a rhyme, a rhythm and time on the sea
You’ll never take that away from me

I can see you with your judgement
Don’t you know that’s all you’ll have to show in the end
Don’t you know that I’ll go my own way
No surprise that I don’t really care what you say
Don’t get me wrong
I, I have what you don’t

I have a heart that’s covered in scars
I got a beach, a melody and a guitar
Got a dream that’s bigger than me
I’ve got a rhyme, a rhythm and time on the sea
You’ll never take that away from me

Can’t you see that I’m just a writer
Learned enough to never be a lair again

I have a heart that’s covered in scars
I got a beach, a melody and a guitar
Got a dream that’s bigger than me
I’ve got a rhyme, a rhythm and time on the sea
You’ll never take that away from me
You'll never take that away from me [x2]

No, no, no, no, no

  42. k.... ....

    New Zealand represent!

  43. F.... T....

    little miss rabbit at 0:51 (:3

  44. R.... H....

    Perhaps the sunburnt shots are taken from later in the shooting, could have been 3 days of shooting for all we know - and they haven't thought to look after her skin properly!!

  45. R.... H....

    My comments aren't about your personal preference though, they're about wide market appeal in relation to the artist potential. And I say the music is good enough that it's worth backing up with a stronger video. Every mainstream record company executive will agree with the viewpoint that marketing collateral has to be strong. Like what you want, but good product sells when it's presented right and the consumer votes with her/his purse/wallet.

  46. L.... J....

    I love your videos and your voice! Keep it up!

  47. R.... J....

    The "underdone" feel of the video, I think, is what makes it so great. This kind of video matches Jamie's image perfectly, and I think that might be lost if this was done up too much. I really like how real she is, and I think it's the same for a lot of her fans. This easy-to-relate-to, beachy, chilled out, REAL girl is what we love.

  48. R.... H....

    Do you really base your national pride on the output of it's pop music?

    R.... H....

    No. Cricket results.

  49. R.... H....

    If you are going to sell this kind of music then the video has to be good. The songs marketable but the artist presentation is underdone. Lets be real, all that matters is looking good in videos, even the tune can be cheese (which this one isn't). Re-packaging required but that happens more than people know.

  50. F.... I....

    her voice kind of reminds me of Taylor Swift !!!

  51. C.... P....

    Love this song, Jamie Mcdell is awesome!

  52. t.... ....

    Pauanui Beach

  53. k.... d....

    Love this song

  54. k.... d....

    You at the bone

  55. i.... ....

    This is music for the hollister store :D

  56. K.... ....

    People keep on comparing Jamie to Taylor Swift, but she's nothing like her. Taylor Swift writes songs about her ex boyfriends. Jamie writes songs about the beautiful ocean coming from the heart.

  57. T.... I....

    A great example of why New Zealand is such a fantastic place to live. Sweet as!

  80. G.... L....

    Favourite Singer.<3

  81. D.... ....

    seriously, I just heard hear on Air New Zealand while flying to Australia, and that was EXACTLY what I was thinking. It made it seem like being a famous musician has a lot to do with marketing than it does with talent. Swift is a brilliant song writer, but her singing I'd say is just okay. Jamie McDell also seems like a great song writer, and I'd say she's even a better singer than Swift. Glad that I randomly came across Jamie for sure!

  82. J.... R....

    LOVE this song LOVE Jamie McDell so proud to be kiwi
