  • The scratching of paper and pen,
    Reminds me of song I wrote two years back.
    I remember each and every line,
    Like a photo glued to the lids of my eyes.

    The shiver of my wheezing chest, Reminds me of the way I felt two years back.
    And as we lose all track of time,
    I feel her breath like ice on the tip of my spine.

    The shake before I sleep,
    The shake before I sleep,
    The shake before I sleep,
    Oh-oh-oh.

    The shake before I sleep,
    The shake before I sleep,
    The shake before I sleep.

    I wait for the bed to get warm,
    As my eyes adjust to the darkest light form.
    And as I start to drift away,
    You're the shake that pulls me back to this state.

    The shake before I sleep,
    The shake before I sleep,
    The shake before I sleep,
    Oh-oh-oh.

    The shake before I sleep,
    The shake before I sleep,
    The shake before I sleep.

    You're the shake
    You're the shake
    You're the shake
    You're the shake
    You're the shake

    You're the shake
    You're the shake
    You're the shake
    You're the shake
    You're the shake Writer/s: CHRIS THOMAS, JIM MCCORMICK, NATHAN BENNETT, OWEN MATTHEW THOMAS, THOMAS DAUGHTERY
