[Verse 1]
Feels like we waited way too long
Gotta get together or we can't move on
Take a look at what's inside us
Try to break down what divides us
I wanna learn how to take more chances
Wanna listen to what everybody else says
Plant seeds to keep me strong
Been the same way all along but
Some things need some shaking sometimes

[Chorus]
Shake a life and let's try
And take a chance on a dream that might sound unbelievable
Twenty thousand reasons why
The days and days of routine leave me so predictable

[Verse 2]
Feels like it's faded straight away
The clog in the drain of self-decay
Done seeing both sides of the fences
Stop living in my past tenses
One deep long look in the mirror
True thoughts help me to see clearer
Stay awake til the morning light
Swear to God my wrongs and rights
But some things need some shaking sometimes
[Chorus]
Shake a life and let's try
And take a chance on a dream that might sound unbelievable
Twenty thousand reasons why
The days and days of routine leave me so predictable

[Bridge]
Woah, woah
I don't want to use the same excuses again
Woah, oh, oh
Don't say it's all been done, and there's nothing left

Go!

[Chorus]
Shake a life and let's try
And take a chance on a dream that might sound unbelievable
Twenty thousand reasons why
The days and days of routine leave me so predictable

Shake a life and let's try
And take a chance on a dream that might sound unbelievable
Twenty thousand reasons why
The days and days of routine leave me predictable
