Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shake me down
Not a lot of people left around
But who knows now
Softly laying on the ground, ooh
Not a lot of people left around, ooh
Ooh
[Verse 2]
In my life I have seen
People walk into the sea
Just to find memories
Plagued by constant misery
[Verse 3]
Their eyes cast down
Fixed upon the ground
Their eyes cast down
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun
[Verse 4]
Shake me down
Cut my head on a silver cloud
Broken sound
Softly laying on the ground, ooh
Not a lot of people left around, ooh
Ooh
[Verse 5]
In my past bittersweet
Found no love between the sheets
Tasted blood, broken dreams
Lonely times indeed
With eyes cast down
Fixed upon the ground
With eyes cast down
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun
[Verse 6]
Turn back now, it's time for me to let go
Way down, had to find a place to lay low
Lamp shade turn a man into a light post
[Verse 7]
Walk around the corner
Never saw it coming still
Said I tried to make a move
It almost stopped me from believing
I don't wanna know the future
I'm like rolling thunder
[Verse 8]
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
[Verse 9]
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun
[Verse 10]
Shake me down
Not a lot of people left around, ooh
Ooh
