  • Shake it up

    I never loved nobody fully
    Always one foot on the ground
    And by protecting my heart truly
    I got lost in the sounds

    I hear in my mind
    All of these voices
    I hear in my mind
    All of these words
    I hear in my mind
    All of this music
    And it breaks my heart
    And it breaks my heart
    And it breaks my heart
    Well, it breaks my heart

    Suppose I never, ever met you
    Suppose we never fell in love
    Suppose I never, ever let you
    Kiss me so sweet and so soft

    Suppose I never ever saw you
    Suppose you never ever called
    Suppose I kept on singing love songs
    Just to break my own fall
    Just to break my fall
    Just to break my fall
    Just to break my fall
    Break my fall
    Break my fall

    All my friends say
    That of course it's
    Gonna get better
    Gonna get better
    Better, better
    Better, better
    Better, better, better

    I never loved nobody fully
    Always one foot on the ground
    And by protecting my heart truly
    I got lost in the sounds

    I hear in my mind
    All of these voices
    I hear in my mind
    All of these words
    I hear in my mind
    All of this music
    And it breaks my heart
    And it breaks my heart

    I hear in my mind
    All of these voices
    I hear in my mind
    All of these words
    I hear in my mind
    All of this music
    And it breaks my heart
    And it breaks my heart
    And it breaks my heart
    and it breaks my heart
    and it breaks my heart
    And it breaks my heart
    Breaks my heart

    And it breaks my heart
    And it breaks my heart
    And it breaks my heart
    And it breaks my heart Writer/s: Regina Spektor

  • Bay from Weaverville, Caits a cute and charming song, I love it. well done Regina! :)
  • Keith from St. Joseph, MoI can always pick out her songs because of her unique sound. I would love to meet her someday. She seems like a very interesting and cool person.
  • Jeremy from Grand Rapids, MiLol, I'm a guy, but I absolutely LOVE this song. The crazy part is: I usually listen to PUNK or ROCK. I think its the lyrics. I can TOTALLY relate to them. Regina Spektor is an amazing performer. Oh, and its not on here yet, but I love her song "Better" too! YEAH!!!!
  • Kimmie from Dallas, GaOh regina... what an amazing song!
  • Dny from Carlisle, EnglandThis song was written whilst Regina was watching "High Fidelity"
  • Bren from Havelock North, New ZealandThis is also used in an advert on New Zealand television announcing the partnering of the internet giant Yahoo with Xtra (our biggest ISP) to produce the yahooxtra website (when x meets y campaign)
  • Jerry from Brooklyn, NyThere is also a rather charming and delightful video to this which can be viewed on Regina's website. This song has gotten quite a lot of airplay on TV -- it has been used in the grossly over-rated "Gray's Anatomy" and more recently on "Brothers and Sisters". The entire "Begin to Hope" album is marvelous -- I hope to see more postings about more of the songs.
