Shake It Out Lyrics - So You Think You Can Dance

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 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, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah 

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah 

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, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah 

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah 

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 so shake him off 

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 

Oh woah, oh woah... 

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, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah 

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah 

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

So shake him off, oh woah 

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah 

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah 

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

So shake him off, oh woah
