"Shake The Walls" lyrics

"Shake The Walls"

Electricity snapped from the sky
And the trees stood still
And in that nervous moment, I was alone
I was wanting you again
The ceiling fan tries to keep up with the heat
The chains clang in the third speed
The bed and the bathtub and the yard and the kitchen
We're all waiting

Would you just come over, over, come over
And shake the walls of this place
It's quiet as a candle, I'm lonely
Come over, shake the walls of this place

Time's just a clock, a shade down the hall
And sometimes I just hate the day
I'd like to get a gun that can shoot down the sun
Let's have a night that won't go away
We don't need a name, a word, or a code
For whatever we're gonna call this
Just keep the shirts and the hands and the jeans moving
In a downward trend

Would you just come over, over, come over
And shake the walls of this place
It's quiet as a candle, I'm lonely
Come over, shake the walls of this place

Would you just come over, over, come over
And shake the walls of this place
It's quiet as a candle, I'm lonely
Come over, shake the walls of this place
