Shake
Youth Warrant Lyrics

You’ve got my t-shirt on
You're wearing my t-shirt, which brings back memories of us being together.

Got your hair undone
Your hair is untied, which makes you look charming and carefree.

Oh and how it haunts me
Seeing you like this makes me realize how much I miss you and how you still have a hold over me.

Early in the morning
This feeling came early in the morning, when I'm usually alone with my thoughts.

Sh-shake this wake-up haze
I want to shake off this feeling of confusion and wake up from this haze that's keeping me from moving forward.

Ch-change these blues and greys
I want to change the sadness and dullness in my life and replace it with bright and happy colors.

I’m spiking all my coffee
I'm adding alcohol to my coffee to dull the pain I feel inside and avoid confronting my feelings.

Just to fight these feelings off me
I'm trying to fight off these intense feelings so that I can move on with my life and not be constantly reminded of you.

All these ghosts
These are the emotions and memories that still haunt me, reminding me of past mistakes and lost loves.

That we write off
We ignore these emotions and try to act like they don't exist, hoping that they will go away on their own.

But won't
Despite our best efforts, these feelings refuse to go away and continue to linger in our minds.

Turn the lights off
Ignoring these feelings won't make them disappear, and they will always be looming in the background of our lives.

My feet are on fire
I'm feeling restless and agitated, unable to stay still and constantly moving.

I walk on the wire
I'm constantly walking a tightrope, trying to balance my emotions and actions in order to move forward.

I just can’t let it go
Despite my best efforts, I can't seem to forget about you or the emotions you bring up in me.

(Over and over again)
These feelings keep coming up in my mind and heart, and I can't seem to rid myself of them.

You’ve got that red dress on
You're wearing a red dress, which symbolizes passion and desire, and makes me feel drawn to you.

You said the night is young
You're suggesting that there's still time to do something fun and exciting, which makes me feel a sense of anticipation.

Well I think I’m getting thirsty
I'm feeling a strong desire for something more, whether it's a meaningful connection or simply a physical release.

Cause I’m feeling all the worst things
These intense emotions are causing me to feel anxious, overwhelmed, and vulnerable.

Sh-shake your body now
I want you to let go of your inhibitions and dance with me, as an escape from our problems and worries.

S-scream the words out loud
I want us to let out our emotions and express ourselves freely, without fear of judgment or consequence.

Cause the lights are getting lower
The atmosphere is becoming more intimate and personal, creating a sense of closeness and connection.

But the night is never over
Despite our best efforts, the night will eventually end and we will have to face our emotions and insecurities once again.

I’m trying not to lose it
I'm trying to keep myself together and not let my emotions overwhelm me or negatively impact my life.

But it’s hard enough just moving
Even though I'm trying to keep moving forward, it's still difficult to forget about you and the emotions you bring up in me.
