Shake It Out Songtext / Lyric

Regrets collect like old friends
here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
and all of the ghouls come out to play And every demon wants his pound of flesh
but I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
it's always darkest before the dawn And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
'cause I like to keep my issues strong
it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaah
Shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
so shake him off, oh woaah

And I am done with my graceless heart
so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'cause I like to keep my issues strong
it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaah
Shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
so shake him off, oh woaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
and given half the chance would I take any of it back
it's a fine romance but it's left me so empty
it's always darkest before the dawn

Oh woaah, oh woaah

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
so here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
and I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
it's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
'cause
looking for heaven, for the devil in me
looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Well what the hell...
I'm gonna let it happen, to me

Shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaah
Shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
so shake him off, oh woaah

Shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaah
Shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
so shake him off, oh woaah

Ohooohooo
ohoohooohooohooo
Ohooohooo
ohoohooohooohooo
Ohooohooo
ohoohooohooohooo
Ohooohooo
ohoohooohooohooo

Ohooohooo
ohoohooohooohooo
Ohooohooo
ohoohooohooohooo
Ohooohooo
ohoohooohooohooo
Ohooohooo
ohoohooohooohooo
