Shake It Out
Florence the Machine-Shake It Out
Regrets collect like old friends
here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way.
Then every demon wants his pound of flesh
but I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn.
And Ive been a fool and Ive been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
Im always dragging that horse around
All of these questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight Im gonna bury that horse in the ground
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn.
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And its hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh
And I am done with my graceless heart
so tonight Im gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn.
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And its hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh
And you tried to dance with the devil on your back
Given half the chance, would I take any of it back?
Its a fine romance but its left me so impaired
Its always darkest before the dawn
Cause looking for heaven found a devil in me
Looking for heaven found a devil in me
But why the hell Im gonna let it happen to me?
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And its hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh
Regrets collect like old friends
here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way.
Then every demon wants his pound of flesh
but I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn.
And Ive been a fool and Ive been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
Im always dragging that horse around
All of these questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight Im gonna bury that horse in the ground
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn.
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And its hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh
And I am done with my graceless heart
so tonight Im gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn.
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And its hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh
And you tried to dance with the devil on your back

Its a fine romance but its left me so impaired
Its always darkest before the dawn
Cause looking for heaven found a devil in me
Looking for heaven found a devil in me
But why the hell Im gonna let it happen to me?
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And its hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh
