What It Takes

Don’t think straight
I would have never seen this side of you
Not in a hundred million years
Not for a hundred million years
I stay up late
Sticking pins into a doll of you
Nothing ever seems so clear
Not for a hundred million years
And the song your singing
Is just the song you sing
I’m not waiting for the sun to shine today
Not looking for the great escape
No waiting for the world to turn my way
And that’s okay, it’s what it takes
Everyday you walk into my heart again
And everything you killed
You did it for the thrills
I disappear back into my mind again
And everything you’ve heard
Don’t believe a word
And the war your waging
Has open-staged
I’m not waiting for the sun to shine today
Not looking for the great escape
No waiting for the world to turn my way
And that’s okay, it’s what it takes
And I say goodbye to you
You say goodbye to me
And that’s just all it means
And I say goodnight to you
You say goodnight to me
The rest is just a dream
I stay up late
Sticking pins into myself again
And nothing ever works
In fact it just got worse
I’m not waiting for the sun to shine today
Not looking for the great escape
No waiting for the world to turn my way
And that’s okay, it’s what it takes
I say goodbye to you
You say goodbye to me
The rest is just a dream
The rest is just a dream
