As Long As It Takes (Acoustic Version)
I was watching when you lost direction
And I saw you when the headlights died
You were standing at the edge of a train wreck
Twisted up inside
I tried to find you in your pitch black bedroom
I tried to find you in the place you hide
But your body was an empty suitcase
Hollow sunken eyes
If you let me catch a ride
On your road to recovery
You can fall apart on me
Because I'll be here as long as it takes
A remedy to steady your midnight shakes
I'll stay here as long as it takes
As long as it takes to get it right
Strange how no matter what the distance
You can never escape yourself
Distorted by your own reflection
But only I can tell
I know I said I didn't watch your plane leave
Honestly, I should admit I lied
I was standing at the edge
Of the runway wishing I could fly
If you let me catch a ride
On your road to recovery
You can fall apart on me
Because, I'll be here as long as it takes
A remedy to steady your midnight shakes
I'll stay here as long as it takes
As long as it takes to get it right
It's beautiful to break
Let your false flag drift away
Show me your face
You can fall apart on me
Because I'll be here as long as it takes
A remedy to steady your midnight shakes
I'll stay here as long as it takes
I'll be here as long as it takes
A memory that steadies your midnight shakes
I'll stay here as long as it takes
As long as it takes to get it right
Ooh, to get it right
Ooh, to get it right
I'll stay here as long it takes
As long as it takes to get it right
And I saw you when the headlights died
You were standing at the edge of a train wreck
Twisted up inside
I tried to find you in your pitch black bedroom
I tried to find you in the place you hide
But your body was an empty suitcase
Hollow sunken eyes
If you let me catch a ride
On your road to recovery
You can fall apart on me
Because I'll be here as long as it takes
A remedy to steady your midnight shakes
I'll stay here as long as it takes
As long as it takes to get it right
Strange how no matter what the distance
You can never escape yourself
Distorted by your own reflection
But only I can tell
I know I said I didn't watch your plane leave
Honestly, I should admit I lied
I was standing at the edge
Of the runway wishing I could fly
If you let me catch a ride
On your road to recovery
You can fall apart on me
Because, I'll be here as long as it takes
A remedy to steady your midnight shakes
I'll stay here as long as it takes
As long as it takes to get it right
It's beautiful to break
Let your false flag drift away
Show me your face
You can fall apart on me
Because I'll be here as long as it takes
A remedy to steady your midnight shakes
I'll stay here as long as it takes
I'll be here as long as it takes
A memory that steadies your midnight shakes
I'll stay here as long as it takes
As long as it takes to get it right
Ooh, to get it right
Ooh, to get it right
I'll stay here as long it takes
As long as it takes to get it right
