Here’s What It Takes

Craig Northey, Steven Page

[Verse 1]
Here's what it takes to survive
Saturday's fever means you're staying alive, of course
An 8-ball of coke, you're angry and broke
My mother misspoke by telling me the truth

[Verse 2]
Here's what it takes to believe
Drink down the Drano 'til the demons all leave, I won't go
I told you I don't want to know

[Verse 3]
Here's what it takes to regret
Wake up sleepwalking in your father's footsteps
The fridge door was open again, there's leftover blame
You're eating your shame and choking on the truth

[Verse 4]
Here's what it takes to be heard
And we rejoin us to discouraging words, I won't go
I told you I don't want to know

[Refrain]
Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa

[Bridge]
What we once kept hidden from our parents (Oh whoa whoa)
Now we keep it hidden from our kids (Oh whoa whoa)
No second chances ever in this life (Oh whoa whoa)
Just another chance to make the same mistake twice (Oh whoa whoa)

[Verse 6]
Here's what it takes to deny
Let's make a movie 'bout a hardworking guy who wastes time
With family and friends and likes to pretend
That when it all ends he is closer to the truth

[Verse 6]
And if the least you can do
You fail your parents like you think they failed you, and let go
I told you I don't want to know, no

[Outro]
Here's what it takes
Here's what it takes
Here's what
Here's what it takes
Here's what it takes
Here's what
Here's what it takes
Here's what it takes
Here's what
Here's what it takes
(Here's what it takes to forget)
Here's what it takes
Here's what
Here's what it takes
(Here's what it takes from you yet)
Here's what it takes
Here's what
Here's what it takes
(Here's what it takes to believe)
Here's what it takes
Here's what
Here's what it takes
(Here's what it takes from you and me)
Here's what it takes
Here's what
Here's what it takes
Here's what it takes
Here's what
Here's what it takes
Here's what it takes
Here's what
Here's what it takes
Here's what it takes
