You’ve got sand in your clothes It’s all between your toes It’s in your eyes everyday You’ve gotta shake it all away
Shake it all away Shake it all away There’s a young girl, who’s building a past She knows it’s her turn. And making it last She’s working so hard to see through the haze Fate buries her star, she shakes it all away
But only heaven knows, how all this sand got on the share Thirsty for the stronghold inside us Go, go, go, go don’t wound them no more (no) Don’t wound them no more
Shake it all away, shake it all away
Her steps are a trail, deep in your memory They’re engulfed by the waves Of everything you feel They soothe the pain but won’t heal the wound And they whisper again, again and again
Shake it all away, shake it all away
The sand is in the air The sand gets everywhere It hurts us all the time But you gotta, gotta, try to, shake it all away
