If it makes you happy, I'll keep the lights on
Among dusty books and empty glasses
Somewhere you feel like you belong
Between cigarettes and strained smiles
If it makes you happy, I'll sing a song for you
About what's here and what's beyond
Deep down you know it's true
Absence makes the heart grow fond
(Deep down you know)
(Deep down you know)
If I know you're sad, I'll try to find peace
Through the odds and ends in my mind
Lost in between struggle and release
I never know what I might find
With every stream of consciousness
Not feeling alive, but not yet dead
Drowning in thoughts and your distress
Light below and with darkness ahead
Whatever it takes to get to you (Deep down you know)
Whatever it takes to get to you
I will fight even heaven and hell
Past the pearly gates
Whatever it takes away from me
Whatever it takes away from me
Whatever it takes to get to you
Whatever you need to pull through
Whatever it takes for you to see
Whatever you need for me to be
I will fight even heaven and hell
Past the pearly gates
Whatever it takes away from me
Whatever it takes away from me
(Whatever it takes to get to you)
Who can save me from myself?
(Whatever it takes to get to you)
Who can make it go away?
(Whatever it takes to get to you)
I don't trust these demons, but they are all that I have left
Whatever it takes away from me
(Whatever it takes to get to you)
I don't trust these demons
(Whatever it takes to get to you)
Whatever it takes away from me
(Whatever it takes to get to you)
Whatever it takes away from me
Whatever it takes away from me
