[Verse 1]
Shake it out, shake it out
God, I need another and another
And another and another, I can feel it now
I felt the Lord in my father's house
And I can see, I can see
Standing, we were seventeen, make it clean
Are you the living ghost of what I need?
Are you gonna get the best of me?
We will see

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm done being done
With the funerals, at least for now
Are you tired of being alone?
Are you tired of being alone?

[Verse 2]
Shake it out, shake it out
Tired of another and another
Wasn't really what I wanted
So we bled it out
Over the floor of my neighbor's house
And I could see, I could see
God, I've never seen a thing so complete
I am the living ghost of what you need
I am everything eternally, God, just speak
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm done being done
With the funerals, at least for now
Are you tired of being alone?
Are you tired of being alone?
So speak to me

[Chorus]
Oh god, you gotta shake it out, shake it out
You gotta take it out, take it down
I gotta come around, I need it now more than I ever have
Oh god, you gotta shake it out, shake it out
You gotta break it down, break it out
You've gotta come around, I feel it now more than I ever have

[Bridge]
I felt the Lord begin
To peel off all my skin
And I felt the weight within
Reveal a bigger mess
That you can't fix

[Verse 3]
I swear, I swear I'll go
Lead me into my home
Don't stop, don't ever go
I swear you'll never know
You'll never know
[Chorus]
Oh god, you gotta shake it out, shake it out
You gotta break it down, break it out
