“What You Will Take”
Copyright by Frank DeCenso, Jr.
[Vs1]
The day I found you lost,
You were tied to railroad tracks;
You looked so calm and peaceful,
But it was just a mask.
Someone had stole your love,
And they left you for the train;
But I came by, picked you up,
Before that engine came.
CHORUS
I’ll try to keep you close,
And shield you from what’s fake;
But I can only promise
To give what you will take –
I can only promise
To give what you will take.
[Vs2]
You still cannot recall,
All the danger you were in;
Your heart was split wide open,
It wasn’t beating then.
All hope had fallen out,
Like some marbles on the floor;
So now you need to realize,
All that your heart is for.
CHORUS
I’ll try to keep you close,
And shield you from what’s fake;
But I can only promise
To give what you will take –
I can only promise
To give what you will take.
[Vs3]
How long have you been gone,
From love’s reality?
Now even Rip Van Winkle,
Woke up one day from sleep.
The world is full of lies,
Those lies are full of pain;
But I won't make promises -
Love's a two player game.
CHORUS
I’ll try to keep you close,
And shield you from what’s fake;
But I can only promise
To give what you will take –
I can only promise
To give what you will take.
[BRIDGE]
No more wasting time –
You were never good at chess;
Make a move from how you feel,
We'll wait to what's next…
CHORUS
I’ll try to keep you close,
And shield you from what’s fake;
But I can only promise
To give what you will take –
I can only promise
To give what you will take.
