Whatever it Takes Lyrics
It is late and I am cold
Nothing's changed except for the snow
I've been waiting on an answer,
Hoping I could call your bluff
I've been giving second chances
Thinking maybe I gave too much
What you want from me
It's not something I could give you for free
And all I know in this life is you can't stop breathing
So, Whatever it takes
Tell me you'll stay with me forever
Don't turn away
Tell me you'll stay
'Cause when we're together, Oh I see stars above the headlights
And they don't seem so far away
Whatever it takes
Tell me you'll stay
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
I am shamed and you are lost
We both ache for things we ain't got
I was praying that you'd find me
Teach me something I don't know
I was praying that you'd find me
Praying that you'd guide me home
What you want from me
It's not something I could give you for free
And all I know in this life is you can't stop breathing
So, Whatever it takes
Tell me you'll stay with me forever
Don't turn away
Tell me you'll stay
'Cause when we're together, Oh I see stars above the headlights
And they don't seem so far away
Whatever it takes
Tell me you'll stay
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm afraid of things I don't know
I miss your face whenever you're gone
Whatever it takes
Tell me you'll stay with me forever
Don't turn away
Tell me you'll stay
'Cause when we're together, Oh I see stars above the headlights
And they don't seem so far away
Whatever it takes
Tell me you'll stay
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
Nothing's changed except for the snow
I've been waiting on an answer,
Hoping I could call your bluff
I've been giving second chances
Thinking maybe I gave too much
It's not something I could give you for free
And all I know in this life is you can't stop breathing
Tell me you'll stay with me forever
Don't turn away
Tell me you'll stay
'Cause when we're together, Oh I see stars above the headlights
And they don't seem so far away
Tell me you'll stay
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
We both ache for things we ain't got
I was praying that you'd find me
Teach me something I don't know
I was praying that you'd find me
Praying that you'd guide me home
It's not something I could give you for free
And all I know in this life is you can't stop breathing
Tell me you'll stay with me forever
Don't turn away
Tell me you'll stay
'Cause when we're together, Oh I see stars above the headlights
And they don't seem so far away
Tell me you'll stay
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
I miss your face whenever you're gone
Tell me you'll stay with me forever
Don't turn away
Tell me you'll stay
'Cause when we're together, Oh I see stars above the headlights
And they don't seem so far away
Tell me you'll stay
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes

Love this song. Obviously one of the best on the album. Most the lyric sites say that it's "Just tell me you'll stay" but I haven't heard the 'Just' part. I electronically purchased the album, so I'm not sure if that is what he wrote it as, but it's supposed to be. Or, if it is "above" the headlights of "from" the headlights?
I certainly don't hear the "Just" part in there so I think you're correct on that part. And It's From the headlights. But i agree, it's a good song!!
