Take Shelter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’ll wait until you have to go
I’ll make it so you never ever know how much I have messed it up
We run around like we don’t care
It’s gonna leave its mark somewhere
Do you want to show me something new?
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way
Just tell me what I have to do to keep myself apart from you
All your colours start to burn
I know I want you far too much
Never thought I wouldn’t be enough
All this talk is bruising you
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
I don’t really wanna stop myself
Nobody’s gonna tell me I need help
Are you coming over soon?
I meet you at the darkest time
You hold me, and I have to shut my eyes
I'm shy
Can I be what you like?
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way
Just tell me what I have to do to keep myself apart from you
All your colours start to burn
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
I don’t really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love, if you wanna find something more
I’ll be the one to run for you
I don’t really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love, if you wanna find something more
I’ll be the one to run for you
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
