Shake It Off by Jarvis Church

Fantastic song by this Canadian artist.

Lyrics:
If it's the thing that you fear
It will always be right there
A weight on your back,
a thorn in your side
Boy you can't run so don't even try

'Cause the demons are right at your heels
Breakin' you down making you feel
Like you wanna give up, like you just gotta give in
Like you're fighting a fight that you know you can't win
Don't you know you've got to

Chorus:
Stand up, shake it off, look 'em in the eye
You may never get another chance to
Make things right: don't pass it by
Have you ever felt like you never said
all the things you wanted to say?
This is your chance so stand up for yourself
Today's your day

There's no easy way to go about it
Baby you can't doubt it
When they can't hear you, you've got to shout it
'Cause some of us can't live without it

If it's the love that you need
You've got to ask politely
But never settle for less than the sky
And if you walk out don't ever let them see you cry
No, no, no

Chorus

Come on stand
Come on stand

I know you're tired and you've had enough
You're bruised and torn and you wanna give up
Well there's an answer, listen up
Sometimes, sometimes you've got to stand up
Yeah

Chorus x2

When I was younger, I wasn't allowed to watch shows like Dawson Creek and anything with kissing... But i saw The Philosopher Kings video for Baby it Hurts... and I thought it was the SEXIEST video EVER, and I used to sneak watch it... I totally love them.
