The Takers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What makes these boys fall hard
Over all the girls they have fought and won?
These kings work hard and long
Just to ensure that their girls don't run
Oh, no, nobody taught them
To love slow, they're crying out at the streets below
Why don't you stay with me?
I think you could save this beast
But I'll leave you with an empty look
Honey, that's what takers do
I'm a thief and I'll take you
What makes these monsters cry?
You can see the gold reflecting in their eyes
Yea, that's just our heaving skin stretched tight
Greedy hands grab what feels right
Oh, no, nobody taught them to let go, they don't know
Why don't you stay with me?
I think you could save this beast
But I'll leave you with an empty look
Honey that's what takers do
I'm a thief and I'll take you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
If you stay, you would break
Your way to innocence
To take after these violent ways
You still love and I still take
Stay with me
I think you could save this beast
But I'll leave you with an empty look
Honey, that's what takers do
I'm gonna take you and you'll stay with me
Well, I think you can save this beast
But I'll leave you with an empty look
Honey, that's what takers do
