What It Costs Songtext
von Switchfoot

Sunlight fading fast, make it last
Like a flame flickers, then it′s passed
Moonlight fades to dawn, carry on
You never know what's real until it′s gone
Love deals the currency of life
Don't ever forget what it costs

Hold on to me, carry me through
Our story is the pain we outgrew
Yeah, you can't call it love until you′ve lost
If you love someone, this is what it costs


This city cries softly tonight
Like a million tear drops from a thousand eyes
I′m drenched beneath the rainy Melbourne sky
Wonder how it is I feel so dry inside
Love uses the pain to drill the holes
That irrigate our dry and thirsty souls

Hold on to me, carry me through
Our story is the pain we outgrew
Yeah, you can't call it love until you′ve lost
If you love someone, this is what it costs

Oh
Oh
Oh

Sunlight fading fast, make it last
Sunlight fading fast, make it last
