I really can't pinpoint an exact reason, the two of them (and (It's Hard) Letting You Go) do absolutely nothing for me. I LOVE every other song on TD, but I think those three are bland, boring, and generally bad.....I'm weird like that.

Fair enough, I think both songs sound a little similar and that put people off. I think the same with The Distance and Love Me Back To Life on Bounce.
Personally, I can identify with each and every lyric in both songs. Hearts is more of a downer song and is reminiscent of Aerosmith musically. Seeing that Desmond helped right this, it's no suprise that it has that slick, polished sound as he's written similar songs with Aerosmith. I guess it's kinda like your love for I Got The Girl being a big Petty fan.
If That's What It Takes is a song of hope I think and much more uplifting than Hearts. "I played the part of a broken heart upon a shelf, I played that part so lonely and so well I thought that love belonged to someone else..." It's like he's saying "Ok, I've taken the time to regroup and come to terms with my heart being completley shattered (Hearts Breaking Even) and I've met you. I'm willing to take the chance again."
God, the whole record means so much to me. I think a These Days album review is coming up.
