What It Takes lyrics - Lee Pardini & Dawes

If you look out at the skyline

From far enough away

The city's just a row of broken teeth

Its rumbling and it's growling

It festers and decays

But I still hear it calling out for me

I thought my debts were settled

That some rules had been enforced

As a bead of sweat starts rolling down my cheek

I was good at treating symptoms

But I never found the source

So these voices might not ever let me be

But I know I'm never gonna break

If I can find you at the end of every day

They'll say I don't have what it takes

I just won't let go of what it takes away

What it takes away

I coulda been a contender

But I burned a bit too bright

Until I couldn't take another swing

I kept up w the training

But I've given up the fight

And now I'm being forced back in the ring

I know I'm never gonna break

If I can find you at the end of every day

They'll say I don't have what it takes

I just won't let go of what it takes away

What it takes away

What it takes away

What it takes away

What it takes away

What it takes away

What it takes away
