You never wanted what you got
Still tryin’ to get to where you were
Were you ever really there
Was there a doubt or were you sure

I’m always reaching for that branch
The one that’s always outta reach
I’m always howlin’ through the moonshine
Like a dog without a leash


So take me out into the country
I wanna burn with all the stars
I wanna be there when your turn comes ‘round
Let’s take it too far


Tonight’s gonna be the night
There ain’t nothin’ you can do
Somebody’s gonna fall in love
Somebody’s love will break in two

Don’t you worry ‘bout dying’
Cuz there’s no better way to go
Sing until you outta honey
Pour the gravel down our throats


Take these chains from ‘round me
Take this pain from my heart
I wanna melt into the midnight
Let’s take it too far


I know there’s gotta be a reason
I know I don’t know what it is
Think it’s somewhere in the third verse
Gonna dig for it

Oh how the melody moved me
How it came to an end
Man I wish you coulda been there
Never be the same again


So let’s do a little somethin’
Take the makeup off our scars
Let’s get swallowed by the beauty of it all tonight
Let’s take it too far
Let’s take it too far
Let’s take it too far
Let’s take it too far
Let’s take it too far
Let’s take it too far
Let’s take it too far
Let’s take it too far
Let’s take it too far
