    Are you ready? Because this is the best limited edition vinyl package ever!

    Get the Taking Me Back vinyl with extra delicious goodies! Includes 140 gram blue vinyl (photo 2), full color sleeve with printed lyrics, B&W coloring card of album cover (photo 3), lyric sticker (photo 4), and full color Take Me Away lyric sheet printed on vellum (photo 5), all lovingly secured in a one-of-a-kind, fabric, hand-sewn vinylope (photo 1).

    Please note: vinylope selection is random for the limited edition unless you purchase your copy in person at a show.

    What's a vinylope? It's a hand-sewn fabric slipcover for your vinyl. Sara personally selects each fabric! Every slipcover is made of two different fabrics, so you'll always have something fun to look at!
    Perfect for giving vinyl as gifts, or even as a storage bag if fabric slipcovers aren't your thing!

about

Just a little bit of heart-meltification.

lyrics

Closer

You’ve got something
To say to me
You’ve got the look
That can only mean
Now look at me
I can barely breathe
You put your hand
On the wall and
Lean over me and say

Why don’t you slide closer?
Just a little bit closer to me
Slide over
Just a little bit closer to me

Now here comes
My favorite song
And I can’t stop
From singing along
And that’s the step
That you’re moving on
You put your hand
On my back
And now I’m gone

So I can hear
Your heartbeat
And I can hear
You breathing
And I can feel
Your right hand
Reaching out
For my hand
And you can hear
Me singing
And I can feel
You leading
And you can love
The way my voice hits
Your ear

Why don’t you slide closer?
Just a little bit closer to me
Slide over
Just a little bit closer to me
Slide closer
Just a little bit closer to me
Slide over
Just a little bit closer to me
