Shawn Mendes: This Is What It Takes Meaning

This Is What It Takes Lyrics

I watch your troubled eyes as you rest
And I fall in love with every breath
Wonder if those eyes are really shut

   to me, this song is basically his way of saying “I’m here for you no matter what.” I mean “I’ll break down these walls that are in our way” and “you don’t have to do this on your own.” , “so cmon take my hand, we’re moving on.” tells me that no matter what, he’s gonna help me through this. (this song helped me w my first major break up so)

   The song is about not giving up no matter what and how there’s ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel
   I never used to believe in this (after being depressed for almost 3 yrs) but it seems like my light came in the form of a person, a funny, caring person even though it’s only coz he has a crush on me (still cute

   The songs about how even if you feel down and depressed there are people or things you can do to forget about it. Personally I don’t have anyone there for me but his songs are like a drug to keep me going, “you don’t have to do this on your own, I’ll be ur shoulder to lean on I’ll be ur right when u feel wrong so come on take my hand we’re moving on”.

   "This is what it takes" talks about people who lose their strength into a hard moment, we always have someone who's supporting us and watching over us, we will never be alone.
