Imagine Dragons Whatever It Takes

Falling too fast to prepare for this

Tripping in the world could be dangerous

Everybody circling is vulturousNegative, nepotist



Everybody waiting for the fall of man

Everybody praying for the end of times

Everybody hoping they could be the one

I was born to run, I was born for this



Whip, whip

Run me like a race horse

Hold me like a rip cord

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

Ya take me to the top, I'm ready for

Whatever it takes

'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do what it takes



Always had a fear of being typical

Looking at my body, feeling miserable

Always hanging on to the visual

I wanna be invisible



Looking 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 race horse

Hold me like a rip cord

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

Ya take me to the top, I'm ready for

Whatever it takes

'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do what it takes



Hypocritical, egotistical

Don't wanna be the parenthetical

Hypothetical, working onto something 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 go down to the grave and die happily

Leave the body of my soul to be a part of me

I do what it takes



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

Ya take me to the top, I'm ready for

Whatever it takes

'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do what it takes
