It's time to come down off your high and mighty
Yeah, it's time, it's time, it's time, it's time.
I'm not asking for the world on a silver platter,
No, I just want, just want, just want, just want. want you now.

You fly from one cage to another but you can't remember why you bother
As bars of a feather flock together and conspire to hold you down.
Well, I won't stand in your way or steal your thunder today.
No, I just want to shake with you.
No, I just want to shake with you.

I don't take promises, I don't make promises,
I hate promises, promises, promises, promises.
And life complicates enough on its own
But you keep making it harder, making it harder, making it hard.

You save yourself for someone's rainy days; you're all wrapped up and put away.
You tighten your grip as you start to slip when you feel like letting go.
Mistaking captivity as some form of security.

Yeah, I just want to shake with you.
Yeah, I just want to shake with you.

It's time to slip away, come on out and play.
I'll help you to remember what it means to feel good.
And shake your faith right to its roots
And shake you from your parachutes
'Cause I can see the holes even from where I'm standing.

I just want to shake with you.
Yeah, I just want to shake with you.

It's time to come down off your high and mighty
Yeah, it's time, it's time, it's time, it's time.
I'm not asking for the world on a silver platter,
No, I just want, just want, just want, just want. want you now.

You fly from one cage to another but you can't remember why you bother
As bars of a feather flock together and conspire to hold you down.
Well, I won't stand in your way or steal your thunder today.
No, I just want to shake with you.
No, I just want to shake with you.
