What It Takes

You live down by the capitol
I don't believe we'd met
First pick came I called your name
Would it lead to heartbreak
Showed up late
And I stumbled in
One seat left a promise to be kept
Those words don't matter anymore

Cause living apart is killing me
We talk every day
Your face I don't see
Or the bed that you made
We'll find out if I have what it takes to be

Here we sit at the bar
Your head resting in your hand
You asked for my intentions oh I've suggestions
But you're so far
And you're working nights
I'm still on the road
It's not the other girls but the ways of the world
That's got me all torn and toiled

Living apart is killing me
We talk every day
Your face I don't see
If this is a mistake
We'll find out if I have what it takes to be

If we don't find a way
To find some give and take
I'm getting older by the day I'll go ahead and say it
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late

Living apart is killing me
We talk every day
Your face I don't see
Or the bed that you made
We'll find out if I have what it takes to be what you need
