SHKN was written by Claire Gohst after she decided to try online dating again. Gohst declared that her experiences with matchmaking apps were bittersweet but that this mobile option presented yours truly with more opportunities than her reclusive, daily routine of writing and playing music.
I took a leap of faith
With a glowing face
For a very first date
Now you come as you please
Like i’ve got something to give
We’re right at the start
We swear we’ll never ever part
Headstrong, we move along
Evenly, over the odds
Standing on my feet, falling asleep
While my sugar sweet’s dancing to the beat
You make me feel like a shkn’
Shkn’ bottle of soda
You really got me breakin’
Breakin’ all my walls down
Cut right to the chase
If you may
There’s not a minute left to waste
I’m on the edge to fight
The power shortage from left to right
Spell it out for you
With opposable thumbs
You are the only one for me
You’re everything I’ve dreamed of
You got me
Standing on my feet, falling asleep
While my sugar sweet’s dancing to the beat
You make me feel like a shkn’
Shkn’ bottle of soda
You really got me breakin’
Breakin’ all of my walls down
And if all our thoughts
They overflow
And crystalize like secrets
All we fight for won’t get old
If liberty is what unfolds
There’s everything you need to know now
Everything you need to know
You make me feel like a shkn’
Shkn’ bottle of soda
You really got me breakin’
Breakin’ all of my walls down
