Lyrics
Find another songLive in reverse, go back in time
What's it gonna take to open up?
What does it take to lie?
What's it gonna take to open up this time?
Bending my back to break the ice
Everything's good, as advertised
Watch as the years pass by
What's it gonna take to open up this time?
Stretch out as big as you can go
I won't say I told you so
I won't say what's right
So, what's it gonna take to open up tonight?
Pick all the locks inside our heads
It takes a while, in your defense
But, I got lots of time
So, what's it gonna take to open up tonight?
We'll step on the bright side of the road
The only world you've ever known
Said, it's okay, it's alright
But, what's it gonna take to open up?
What's it gonna take to open up?
What's it gonna take to open up tonight?
If you wanna tell me everything
I won't go, I'm listening
'Cause whatever's yours is mine
Yeah what's it gonna take to open up this time?
I look at you with my eagle eye
I won't say a big goodbye
I don't wanna fight
So, what's it gonna take to open up?
What's it gonna take to open up?
What's it gonna take to open up tonight?
