If That's What It Takes

[Verse 1]

On the days you need to drift

I'll be your swimming pool

On the days you need some space

I'll be your miles and miles of road

On the nights you need a drink

I'll be your neon sign

Oh baby, if that's what it takes

[Verse 2]

When I need a day in bed

You'll be my doctor's note

And whenever I find trouble

You'll be my first phone call

And when I, I can't get a hit

You'll be my batting cage

Oh baby, if that's what it takes

[Pre-Chorus]

Can't we forget about forever

No one's got that kind of time

Love's not supposed to be easy

Oh baby, it don't mean we won't try

[Chorus 1]

Don't mean we won't try

Don't mean we won't try

Don't mean we won't try

[Verse 3]

As the years keep slipping away

We'll be the birthday cake

While the world turns itself inside out

We'll be the butterfly

When they're burning the carnival down

We'll stay on the ferris wheel

Oh baby, if that's what it takes

[Chorus 2]

Oh baby, if that's what it takes

If that's what it takes

Oh, that's what it takes

Oh, that's what it takes
