If That's What It Takes
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.
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
When I need a day in bed
You'll be my doctors 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
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
Don't mean we won't try
Don't mean we won't try
Don't mean we won't try
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
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
