Whatever It Takes Songtext
von Imagine Dragons

Fallin′ too fast to prepare for this
Trippin' in the world could be dangerous
Everybody circlin′ is vulturous
Negative, nepotist

Everybody waitin' for the fall of man
Everybody prayin' for the end of times
Everybody hopin′ they could be the one
I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up

I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up


Whatever it takes
′Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains

Whatever it takes (oh)
Yeah, take me to the top
I′m ready for whatever it takes (oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes

Always had a fear of being typical
Lookin′ at my body, feelin' miserable
Always hangin′ on to the visual
I wanna be invisible

Lookin' at my years like a martyrdom
Everybody needs to be a part of 'em
Never be enough, I′m the prodigal son
I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up


I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up

Whatever it takes (oh)
′Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes (oh)
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains

Whatever it takes (oh)
Yeah, take me to the top
I′m ready for whatever it takes (oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes

Hypocritical, egotistical
Don′t wanna be the parenthetical, hypothetical
Workin' hard on somethin′ that I'm proud of, out of the box
An epoxy to the world and the vision we've lost

I′m an apostrophe
I′m just a symbol to remind you that there's more to see
I′m just a product of the system, a catastrophe
And yet, a masterpiece, and yet, I'm half-diseased

And when I am deceased
At least I′ll go down to the grave and die happily
And leave the body and my soul to be a part of thee
I do what it takes

Whatever it takes (oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes (oh)
′Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains

Whatever it takes (oh)
Yeah, take me to the top
I'm ready for whatever it takes (oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
