All That It Takes
Zack Krall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All that it takes is a word
All that it takes is a word, I'll be insane, I'll be absurd
All that it takes is a word and I'll be there

And I'll forget everything I thought was wrong
And I'll forget everything I thought was wrong
And I'll forget all that it takes
And we could be so picturesque and free
So heart set on some eyes just set on anything but me
And we could be all that it takes

All that it takes is a glance
All that it takes is a glance, I'd give you every second chance
All that it takes is a glance and I'd be there

And we could be so picturesque and free





So heart set on some eyes just set on anything but me
And we could be all that it takes
