Shakedown

Take my 1 p.m. alarm clock

Take my teenage poetry

Take my softness, take my lostness

Take that boy I don't wanna be

All these things, I don't need 'em

I don't want 'em

So shake me down

And try and pawn 'em

I need a

Shakedown, shakedown

I need a

Shakedown, shakedown

Take my sneakers with the holes on 'em

Those laces always came undone

Take the pictures of my green hair daze

Please try and leave me a little fun

All these things, I don't need 'em

I don't want 'em, no

So shake me down

And try and pawn 'em

I need a

Shakedown, shakedown

I need a

Shakedown, shakedown

I need a

Shakedown, shakedown

I need a

Shakedown, shakedown

Take the bridges I demolished

Take my 3 a.m. tattoos

Take the books that I never read and just sat on the shelf

Take the ones I read twice too

All these things, I don't need 'em

I don't want 'em

So cut me up

And try and pawn 'em

Good luck with that

I need a

Shakedown, shakedown

I need a

Shakedown, shakedown

I need a

Shakedown, shakedown

I need a

Shakedown, shakedown

(Shakedown, shakedown)

(Shakedown, shakedown)

(Shakedown, shakedown)

(Shakedown, shakedown)

Take my anger and my sadness

Take the places that I hide

Take the fire out of my words and accusations

Let it live softly in my eyes
