Take Shelter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’ll wait until you have to go
I’ll make it so you never ever know how much I have messed it up
We run around like we don’t care
It’s gonna leave its mark somewhere
Do you want to show me something new?

[Refrain]
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Just tell me what I have to do to keep myself apart from you
All your colours start to burn
I know I want you far too much
Never thought I wouldn’t be enough
All this talk is bruising you

[Chorus]
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used

[Verse 2]
I don’t really wanna stop myself
Nobody’s gonna tell me I need help
Are you coming over soon?
I meet you at the darkest time
You hold me, and I have to shut my eyes
I’m shy
Can I be what you like?

[Refrain]
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Just tell me what I have to do to keep myself apart from you
All your colours start to burn

[Chorus]
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used

[Bridge]
I don’t really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love, if you wanna find something more
I’ll be the one to run for you
I don’t really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love, if you wanna find something more
I’ll be the one to run for you

[Chorus]
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
