That's What It Takes - NEFFEX

Comfort me From a world where no one cares, Where the words turn into cages And memories cut like glass. I closed my eyes on you, Put the blame on myself, baby, The weight is on my shoulders, I throw my heart in the wishing well. I've got to face and tame my demons I know it's hard to start over again, Yeah, I know Through trials and tribulations Salvation's like a long lost friend I'll take back all of the hurt For your love I've taken for granted I'll do anything to change If that's what it takes, yeah No use in pretending Ain't no pride in it at all A cure for independence Is when you're standing in the cold. Have I used, Have I used my chances, Have my bridges all been burned, Give me a sign of inspiration To find a stone that's left unturned. I see a distant promise of Eden, Lifting my spirits so high, If I can break out of the circle Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye! I'll take back all of the hurt For your love I've taken for granted I'll do anything to change If that's what it takes, If that's what it takes. (Solo: Guitar) I've got to see the promise of Eden Lifting my spirits so high! If I can break out of the circle Gonna kiss that carousel No kiss that goodbye! I'll take back all of the hurt For your love I've taken for granted I'll do anything to change, baby, Oh, oh, oh! If that's what it takes Take back all of the hurt For your love I've taken for granted I'll do anything to change If that's what it takes, yeah, If that's what it takes...

Looking back How did I get here Chasing circles Never thought so near Shaded by the red Now I want you I walk this way in my dreams slowly Far away Your distant lights on me I'm shaded by the red Maybe that's what it takes For me to be with you Maybe it's our love saved Maybe that's why it breaks And we do the things we do Maybe that's what it takes I'll open up And let you back inside Don't take your time Cos I will wish I'd lied I'll shame you with the red Maybe that's what it takes For me to be with you Maybe it's our love saved Maybe that's why it breaks And we do the things we do Maybe that's what it How will I know to call? How will I know if you're the one? The one, the only one Maybe that's what it takes For me to be with you Maybe we have to wait Maybe that's what it takes For me to be with you Maybe its our love saved Maybe that's why it breaks And we do the things we do Maybe that's what it takes Maybe that's what it takes

Well lately I've been struggling to get things off the ground I've got a full time job I'm trying to fit my dreams around It isn't easy And it's only getting harder I've been looking at my optics and I think the data shows I need a TikTok account to optimise my SEOs I could do that I just need to learn some dance moves I've never worn a baseball cap backwards But I'll try anything these days I'll sing about dirt roads and dance with my shirt off If that's what it takes that's what it takes If that's what it takes that's what it takes I keep coming back from Nashville with my tail between my legs I've maxxed out all my credit cards but I've got no regrets It'll all be worth it If I get to play the Grand Ole Opry On Monday nights I'll be in the King's Head On that little corner stage I'll sing Oasis and Friends In Low Places If that's what it takes that's what it takes If that's what it takes that's what it takes I'll be on my way Back out to Nashville Just as soon as I get paid All it takes is three chords and I'll buy up some billboards If that's what it takes that's what it takes If that's what it takes that's what it takes That's what it takes That's what it takes That's what it takes
