Lyrics

[Intro]
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive their 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'd like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn
[Verse 1]
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
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the—
[Chorus]
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
So shake him off, oh-woah
[Verse 2]
'Cause I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight, I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
[Chorus]
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
So shake him off, oh-woah
[Bridge]
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
Here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to learn
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause lookin' 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
[Chorus]
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
So shake him off, oh-woah (Tonight)
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah (We are young)
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah (So let's set the world on fire)
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back (We can burn brighter)
So shake him off, oh-woah (Than the sun)
[Instrumental]
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
So shake him off, oh-woah
