both can't survive

Whatever It Takes

What it took for us to survive---what it took: both can't survive
To sing our songs in 3/4 time---what it took: both can't survive
Like a rusted through '76 Oldsmobile
And 4 kids drunk off of screaming
Asleep behind the wheel

And you'll feel wasted
Feel seamless
You'll feel like dying

What it took to get to who we are---what it took: both can't survive
Like a paddle boat in the the deep blue sea---what it took: both can't survive
Buckets empty out the water seeping in the cracks
But a crew in love with this vessel enough to make it last...

And you'll feel wasted
Feel seamless
You'll feel like dying

Plane crash in the highest mountian range
In the coldest air, deepest snow
Seems we're the only survivors on this plane
But for how long, who knows?

I'll keep fighting till the cold steals my last breath
But when it does it had better run like hell
'Cause the remaining passengers won't be taken as well

What it took: both can't survive
Just remember whatever it takes to live
Just remember what it took
