i tried making my mind eliminate the unattractive
but the space through the shades in my window
was enough to throw me off
aware of every critic inside and their treacherous ways
i had to find something to keep me in a positive place
i saw you're friends out making the town
i sort wish that i could meet them
and establish over several drinks that i'm as easy to impress
yeah, we could talk about our favorite songs from beginning to end
the noise from the radio louder than the voice in my head
(doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo.. doo doo)
dance dance everybody shake it off
dance dance, everybody shake it
dance dance, everybody shake it off
dance dance, everybody shake it, ah
yeah, there's a lot of us going around, but you're so eagerly distracted
(da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum)
i guess the pace of monotony makes it pretty easy to avoid
(da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum)
and I can think of several reasons to care, though you'd never agree
that anything is worth your concern unless it's out of your reach
and all your friends still lapping it up,
they never understood the difference
between a genuine display of emotion and a calculated lie
and yet you walk as though you're one of the few while they string you along
the noise from the radio playing every popular song
(doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo... doo)
dance dance everybody shake it off
(doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo... doo)
dance dance, everybody shake it
dance dance, everybody shake it off
(doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo... doo)
dance dance, everybody shake it
dance dance, everybody shake it off
(doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo... doo)
dance dance, everybody shake it
dance dance, everybody shake it off
(doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo... doo)
dance dance, everybody shake it, ah
