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

Shake it all away, shake it all away
Shake it
