Here I Am by Tegan and Sara

From the Yellow Demo Tape
in the dark
someone come with you and said
are you ready to go
are you ready are you set
and so they start again
don't tell me
running arms up
I am standing here now
now I'm ready to
stronger than the rest
better than the best
she said here I am
she said here I am
strong as every man
the only woman
she said here I am
she said here I am
stronger than the rest
better than the best
she said here I am
she said here I am
walk away
we've had more than your say
ready now, ready now
let's go, let's ready
here we go
better than the best
stronger than the rest
she said here I am
she said here I am
gonna take you
to the end of tomorrow
I will take you
to the end of my world
I'm gonna fight for the right
to believe in myself
I'm gonna fight for the right
to release myself
release myself and
rainbow shirt ribbed in acid love
and our lives are ribbed in plastic love
here I am
here I am
it's not just you
she loved me too
here I am
here I am
it's not just you
she loved me too
here I am
here I am
gonna take you
to the end of tomorrow
I will take you
to the end of my world
I'm gonna fight for the right
to believe in myself
I'm gonna fight for the right
to release myself
release myself and
(it went on, on, and on
it went on, on, and on)
stronger than the rest
better than the best
she said here I am
(it went on, on)
was the strongest of the men
was the only woman
she said here I am
here I am and on
walk away
you've had more than your say
here I am
(it went on, on,)
louder and louder
it will build and fade
and soon your love
will turn to hate
she said here I am
she said here I am
(and on, on)
louder and louder
it will build and fade
and soon your love
will turn to hate
she said here I am
(here I am)
(on, on)
louder and louder
it will build and fade
and soon your love
will turn to hate
she said here I am
she said here I am
(on, on,)
louder and louder
it will build and fade
and soon your love
will turn to hate
she said here I am
she said here I am
walk away
you've had more than your say
you've fallen down
and now we're tired
and we need some time
to rest our head
underqualified, undersatisfied
I lie
I'm underqualified, I'm undersatisfied
I lie
I'm underqualified, I'm undersatisfied
I lie
I'm gonna take you to the end of tomorrow
(it's not just you, she loved me too)
I'm gonna take you to the end of my world
(I'm gonna qualify
I'm gonna satisfy my love)
I will take you to the end of tomorrow
I will take you to the end of my world

Kinda disappointed that they didn’t put this on their new album

[@Llamasopher]

Just read the chapter in high school where they record this with a friend of their mom on bongos! Had to listen to it again!!

[@burrustheresa]

This is my favorite song ever, and it was written by high school kids.

[@raksha1985]

I just love how she sings "walk away, you've had more than your say" at the end of the song

[@benpond6889]

Clinging to my youth with this one ☝🏻

[@jenene84]

what is with me and this song? i have to play it over and over . its such a great song!

[@dirtybrownkeeds2]

I love the way sara sings "here i am" after the "it went on and on" bit :]

[@arkanix1074]

I want all of these songs. This ones like a snickers bar. It's like Crunchy, and then caramely smooth, but then has that chunk of...what ever that peanut-buttery foamy stuff is that I like. It's perfect.

sexy comment

[@andialice3458]

Wow I love this and it hurts how much I love it.

[@douglapp5211]

They have a certain style all their own which I've always loved.

[@julsOobonbon]

[@SophieL234]

[@lizzie6895]

* favorite lyric would definatly have to be when Tegan says faster "and our lives are wrapped in plastic love"

[@WeAreFishAndWeDrown]

[@LaurenLeon]

[@wolvie1973]

you can't imagine what we can do with firefox add-on; I send you a PM for the downloading.

[@xslerb]

Can you make this song downloadable. I love all of their songs. I only don't have about 3 of them. I need "Goodbye", "Here I am", and one more I think. If you could help me out I'd appreciate it

[@tegan2excita]

Can someone please send me this song. I will love them for always :)

[@wolvie1973]

do you use Firefox? cause if you do I can help you.
can't believe this song was not on Under Feet or This Business, it's one of the best Tegan ever wrote

[@madres27]
