[Intro]

Sh-sh-shakedown

It's the start of something great now

Here comes the shakedown

[Verse 1]

I've had this image in my head

Since I was just a little kid lost in daydreams

Rusting out from all the sweat

But I can see myself for the first time so clearly

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I feel it

Oh, break through the ceiling

Oh, I need it

I won't stop 'cause I remember that feeling

[Chorus]

All those nights alone

I faced my fears in the mirror

I found my way to show

Who I am, won't disappear

The scars from the fights that came through the years

Are constant reminders of what got me here

All those nights alone

They were the start of something great now

Here comes the shakedown

[Post-Chorus]

Sh-sh-shakedown

It's the start of something great now

Here comes the shakedown

[Verse 2]

It's hard to count the times I bled

I never told myself that greatness comes easy

Others break, but I won't bend

It took the pain I see for the first time so clearly

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I feel it

Oh, break through the ceiling

Oh, I need it

I won't stop 'cause I remember that feeling

[Chorus]

All those nights alone

I faced my fears in the mirror

I found my way to show

Who I am, won't disappear

The scars from the fights that came through the years

Are constant reminders of what got me here

All those nights alone

They were the start of something great now

Here comes the shakedown

[Post-Chorus]

Sh-sh-shakedown

It's the start of something great now

Here comes the shakedown

Sh-sh-shakedown

It's the start of something great now

Here comes the shakedown

[Bridge]

Sometimes we fall, sometimes we break

Sometimes we're lost in all our mistakes

[Chorus]

All those nights alone

I faced my fears in the mirror

I found my way to show

Who I am, won't disappear

The scars from the fights that came through the years

Are constant reminders of what got me here

All those nights alone

They were the start of something great now

Here comes the shakedown

[Post-Chorus]

Sh-sh-shakedown

It's the start of something great now

Here comes the shakedown

Sh-sh-shakedown

It's the start of something great now

Here comes the shakedown
