What Will It Take

[Verse 1]
Counting pennies of my patience
Wondering what buys a heart
Is there a counter at the station
Where the real things start?
I trace the lines upon your table
Try to measure what you weigh
If I am steady, if I'm able
Would you stay?

[Pre-Chorus]
How many miles of open highway?
How many pieces of my pride?
Tell me the toll to find your doorway
With nothing left to hide

[Chorus]
What will it take to make you love me?
How high the wall, how deep the sea?
I'd spend it all, I'd give you everything
Just to know what you see in me
What will it take?

[Verse 2]
I checked my pockets for a currency
That sounds like honesty
Maybe a melody or bravery
Set us both free
You look right through my careful questions
Like you already know the sum
I'm standing here with good intentions
Waiting for it to come

[Pre-Chorus]
How many miles of open highway?
How many pieces of my pride?
Tell me the toll to find your doorway
With nothing left to hide

[Chorus]
What will it take to make you love me?
How high the wall, how deep the sea?
I'd spend it all, I'd give you everything
Just to know what you see in me

[Bridge]
Maybe there is no price tag hanging
On the best kind of grace
Maybe it's just two shadows landing
In the exact same place
No calculation, no accounting
Just falling without a map
Just you and me and nothing mounting
To take it all back

[Final Chorus]
What will it take to make you love me?
How high the wall, how deep the sea?
I'd spend it all, I'd give you everything
Just to know what you see in me
What will it take?
To make you love me
