Shake it out

Regrets collect like old friends

Here to relive your darkest moments

I can see no way, I can see no way

And 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

And 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,

And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh woah

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 before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out,

And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh woah

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 its left me so undone

It’s always darkest before the dawn

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, found the devil in me

Looking for heaven, found the devil in me

Well what the hell I’m gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out,

And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out,

And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh woah
