lyrics

‘Shake Your Heart’ by Skeletal Shakes
Kickin back your compliments, I don’t even notice I do it sometimes
I’m calling for something else
I’m ignoring what’s right in front

And I wonder how they can be happy in themselves
when we’re surrounded by this suffering and hardship
And people going without

And the light of the world looks a little colder to me
As the waves they crash, wash over me
And i see that

Love can be a stranger
Every time I look I wander straight into danger
People around say the trouble that I have is that my hearts kept in bubble wrap

Love comes a little bit closer
Just when I know it’s not supposed to
Just when I understand
You’re scrawling someone else’s name in the back of your hand

Hiding in the rush of the day we only notice the same streets we walk,
The compassion we all were taught seems blinded by the city walls

I knew a man who walked to clear the thoughts of the love he lost
But what’s this sense of entitlement that means a young man can kick him down?

And the light of the world looks a little colder to me
As the waves they crash, wash over me
And i see that

Love can be a stranger
Every time I look I wander straight into danger
People around say the trouble that I have is that my hearts kept in bubble wrap

Love kicks me straight into action
It sends me out on a whim of attraction
Just when I understand
You’re scrawling someone else’s name on the back of your hand

Do you drift off, forget the wider world?
Whilst I appreciate the sentiment, I can’t detach myself
Do you drift off, forget the wider world?
Whilst I appreciate the sentiment, I can’t detach myself

And the light of the world looks a little colder to me
As the waves they crash, wash over me
And i see that

Love can be a stranger
Every time I look I wander straight into danger
People around say the trouble that I have is that my hearts kept in bubble wrap

Love kicks me straight into action
It sends me out on a whim of attraction
Just when I understand
You’re scrawling someone else’s name on the back of your hand
