Zack Krall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
