This song was written by Ben Moody, Amy Hartzler (Lee), David Hodges and John LeCompt.

Info from Evanescence Reference :

John LeCompt is credited with co-writing this song. Originally recorded for the 2001-2002 demos.

Amy's quote about the song:

Taking Over Me is about obsession. Like you're obsessed with someone who you believe is the one for you. I dont know. It's about obsession.

The band stopped performing this song during the start of the Open Door tour, but they played it again during the Family Values Tour. They also played the song during the NYC Evanescence Secret Show.

Lyrics :

You don't remember me but I remember you

I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you

But who can decide what they dream?

And dream I do

[I believe] I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

[I believe] I have to be with you to live, to breathe

You're taking over me

Have you forgotten all I know

And all we had?

You saw me mourning my love for you

And touched my hand

I knew you loved me, then

[I believe] I believe in you [I believe in you]

I'll give up everything just to find you

[I believe] I have to be with you to live, to breathe

You're taking over me

I look in the mirror and see your face

If I look deep enough

So many things inside that are just like you are taking over

I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live, to breathe

You're taking over me

[I believe] I believe in you [I believe in you]

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live, to breathe

You're taking over me

Taking over me

You're taking over me

Taking over me

Taking over me

"but who decides what they dream? and dream I do" That hits me. There's a guy that I was semi-involved with, we were never a couple, but I guess we took turns having crushes on each other. Once I graduated High school though, I tried to forget about him. He was supposed to become a part of the past. I had another relationship that ended pretty badly, really broke my heart, after that I wasn't interested in love again for months, and at just the time when I was starting to feel open to relationships again, that dream happened.I hadn't seen this guy beyond rare occurrences, but I hadn't actually talked to him in like a year. I had stopped thinking about him for the most part, except when I thought of the past.Basically in my dream, we both confessed to each other and he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. The moments after, when we were a couple, when I knew we were together,I felt what can only be described as pure bliss.It's close for the happiest moment I've felt in my entire life, waking or asleep. When I woke up and realized it was a dream, I was wrecked. I'd say I was depressed for a good 2-3 weeks after before I started feeling normal again, and I kept having dreams about himNot the same intensity, but a reminder nonetheless.

Every Evanescence song I've ever listened to is about something to do with the obsession/depression in the heart of every woman who has had a romance go wrong.
