On the days you need to drift I'll be your swimming pool On the days you need some space I'll be your miles and miles of road On the nights you need a drink I'll be your neon sign Oh baby, if that's what it takes When I need a day in bed You'll be my doctor's note And whenever I find trouble You'll be my first phone call And when I, I can't get a hit You'll be my batting cage Oh baby, if that's what it takes Can we forget about forever? No one's got that kinda time Love's not supposed to be easy Oh baby, don't mean we won't try Don't mean we won't try Don't mean we won't try Don't mean we won't try As the years keep slipping away We'll be the birthday cake While the world turns itself inside out We'll be the butterfly When they're burning the carnival down We'll stay on the ferris wheel Oh baby, if that's what it takes Oh baby, if that's what it takes If that's what it takes Oh, that's what it takes Oh, that's what it takes
