First post in almost 2 years
So what do I do? Try to transcribe the lyrics to the Patrick Stump/Kristeen Young duet That's What it Takes, Dear and ask other people who have the song if they can figure out what the heck they are saying. I would offer to link to the song if I had any idea how to do that, but I fail at the internet.
Life's been cold
So I have grown a concrete coat
That's what it takes
Life's been chapped
So have broke three thousand throats
That's what it takes, dear
Half sound, half drowned
The only union's tore ground
But birds and earth and dirt
Dominate them if that's what it takes
You feel a love of many summer long ago
astride you've lied and cried open faced
If that's what it takes, dear
I don't want your a-a-a-a-arms
I don't need to much from the debt of harm
I don't want your hug of war
I don't need your ...
Life's been cold
So I have grown a concreete coat
That's what it takes
Life's been chapped
So have broke three thousand throats
That's what it takes
Life's (half sound) been (half drowned) cold
(the only union's) so have grown a (tore ground)
con- (but birds) crete (and earth and dirt) coat
(dominate them) If that's what it takes
Life's (You feel) been (alone) chapped
(of many summer) So have grown three thou- (long ago)
(astride) sand (you lied and cried) throats (open faced)
(Open) That's what it takes, dear
I don't want your a-a-a-a-arms
I don't need to much from the debt of harm
I don't want your hug of war
I don't need your ...
I don't need your
That's what it takes
Oh oh oh oh That's what it take's dear
I kind of gave up at the end where they start singing the same words over and over, but if anyone has suggestions for the parts that make no sense because I cannot figure out what they are saying, that would be appreciated.
Alternatively, if anyone has a link to the actual lyrics that would be great because I like the song, but would like it better if I could figure out what they were saying.
In conclusion: Hi internets! I am not dead!
