Do you ever play by the rules
Or do you make yours along the way
Do you ever stop before it's too late
Do you ever listen to what people say
Do you tend to run away
If perfect is going wrong
Do you ever stop to look around
Do you ever listen to this song
So tell me what does it take
To make you swallow your pride
Tell me what does it take
To see those arms open wide
Tell me what does it take
Do you ever make a mistake
And if you do, do you take the blame
Do you ever hesitate
Do you ever feel it's all in vain
Do you ever cry when you're feeling down
How do you feel
Do you ever miss to belong somewhere
Do you ever dream of something real
So tell me what does it take
To make you swallow your pride
Tell me what does it take
To see those arms open wide
Tell me what does it take
Would you answer me if you knew
