Shake
Native Harrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shake when I'm feelin' lonely
Shake when my heart's all over the place
Shake like an elevator goin' up, up, up, up

All starts the same lost for words again
Time moves away, takes what it can carry
Half of my heart, the rest I'll have to borrow
Shake when I'm feelin' lonely
Shake when my heart's all over the place
Shake like an elevator goin' up, up, up, up

Look where we've come, a long way from the beginning
The winding roads go on for forever
They healed my head, took my blues away

True it might all look different when we wake up laughing
Heard it would all get better, all get better someday
Wait to see the sun down on the darkest hour

Shake when I'm feelin' lonely
Shake when my heart's all over the place
Shake like an elevator goin' up, up, up, up

Shake when I'm feelin' lonely
Shake when my heart's all over the place

Shake like an elevator goin' up, up, up, up





Goin' up, up, up, up
Goin' up, up, up, up
