before you all break a promised start 
before you fell and you thought 
how on your own would be again 
oh and it’s scarcely noted 
we can have it all 
we can have it all 
the world in our hands 
was an honest thought 

i want a song that brings me back 
before the world went on attack 
and nervousness was all that we had 
and it’s all so different now 
i don’t know what it takes 
i don’t know what it takes at all 

is it enough just to want it bad? 
standing here as you beg for one more night 
again again 
and now you’ve lost all reason 
like we lost our minds 
yeah we lost our minds 
when there are no cards left to stack 
let the bases fall 

i want a song that cheers me up 
all the things that i love so much 
are the things that are falling apart 
at my touch 
and it’s all so different now 
i don’t know what it takes 
i don’t know what it takes at all 
love
