Lyrics What It Costs - Switchfoot

What It Costs

Sunlight fading fast, make it last
Like a flame flickers, then it’s past
Moonlight fades to dark, carry on
You never know what’s real until it’s gone
But love deals the currency of loss
Don’t ever forget what it cost
Hold on to me, carry me through
Our story needs the pain that we outgrew
Yeah, you can’t call it love until you’ve lost
If you love someone this is what it cost
This city cries softly tonight
Like a million teardrops from a thousand eyes
I’m drenched beneath the rainy Melbourne skies
Wonder how it is I feel so dry inside
But love uses the pain to drill the holes
That irrigate our dry and thirsty souls
Hold on to me, carry me through
Our story needs the pain that we outgrew
Yeah, you can’t call it love until you’ve lost
If you love someone this is what it cost
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
Sunlight fading fast, make it last
Sunlight fading fast, make it last
