Glee Cast - Shake It Out lyrics

[Glee Cast - Shake It Out lyrics]

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

Every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
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
Our love is pastured, such a mournful sound

Tonight I'm gonna bury that
Horse in the ground

So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa

And it's hard to dance with
A devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

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 drawn
It's always darkest


Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa

And it's hard to dance with
A devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

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 undone

It's always darkest before the dawn
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

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 rope)

And I'm ready to suffer and
I'm ready to hope
(It's a shot in the dark
Aimed right at my throat
'cause)

Looking for heaven

Found the devil in me
Looking for heaven

Found the devil in me
But what the hell

I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa (Oah, oh)
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
(Shake it out)

And it's hard to dance
(When it's hard to dance)
With a devil on your back
[So shake him off] oh whoa
(Ouh, shake it off)

Shake it out, shake it out (Yeah)
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
(Shake it out)
Shake it out, shake it out (Shake it out)
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa (Eeey)


A devil on your back
[So shake him off] oh woah

(Oh oh, ooh-whoa, oh oh)

Shake it out, shake it out (Shake it out)
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
(Shake it out)
Shake it out, shake it out (Ey, yeah)
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
(Ey eh eh-ey)

And it's hard to dance with
A devil on your back
So shake him off

Oh whoa (Oh, ooh, ooh, woah)
