Whatever It Takes

Ran into you tonight
Where our worlds unite
Felt a flame ignite
You were telling a joke
I studied your eyes as you spoke
Fire and blue smoke

Tectonic plates shift.
Continents collide.
These things take time.
Whatever it takes to get you by my side.
Rings of fire, earthquakes.
Whatever it takes to get you by my side.

As I cross the threshold,
boundaries touch then fold,
reveal a vein of gold.
Roughened by the past,
advancing hard and fast,
we come together at last.

Tectonic plates shift.
Continents collide.
These things take time.
Whatever it takes to get you by my side.
Rings of fire, earthquakes.
Whatever it takes to get you by my side.

Shear strength.
The power to transform,
To shape the seafloor.
Mountains are born.
Intense eruptions—
That’s what love is.
That’s what love is.
What love is.
Ooh, oh . . . .

Tectonic plates shift.
Continents collide.
These things take time.
Whatever it takes to get you by my side.
Rings of fire, earthquakes.
Whatever it takes to get you by my side.
Ooh,oh . . . .
