Marianas Trench
Desperate Measures
[Verse 1]
Gonna make a heart-throb out of me
Just a bit of minor surgery
These desperate times call for desperate measures
I'll give you something to cry about
Show some skin, and would be, caché
How could you let this get to desperate measures now?

[Pre-Chorus]
For a first effort this feels kinda last ditch
I guess this just got kinda drastic
Trust us, you just fell off the bus, baby

[Chorus]
I can't let this, I can't let this, I can't let this go
I can't let this, I can't let this go
(Desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
When I got you right where I want you
I've been pushing for this for so long
Kiss me, just once, for luck
These are desperate measures now (Desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this

[Verse 2]
Have a piece of American dream
Open up and swallow, on your knees
And say "Thank you, I'd like some desperate measures, please"
[Pre-Chorus]
For a first effort this feels kinda last ditch
I guess this just got kinda drastic
Trust us, you just fell off the bus, suckers
Yeah, well, payback is a motherfucker

[Chorus]
I can't let this, I can't let this go
(Desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
When I got you right where I want you
I've been pushing for this for so long
Kiss me, just once, for luck
These are desperate measures now (Desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go

[Bridge]
Forever, for worse or better
My poor heart will only surrender
Go forever, for worse or better
My poor heart will only surrender now

[Chorus]
(Desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
When I got you right where I want you
I've been pushing for this for so long
Kiss me, just once, for luck
These are desperate measures now (Desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
When I got you right where I want you
I've been pushing for this for so long
Kiss me, just once, for luck
These are desperate measures now (Desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
