Shut It Down Lyrics by Mark Rose

Wonderful Trouble

2011

[Intro]
Things always take too long, baby
Things always take too long
Things always take too long, baby
Things always take too long

[Verse 1]
Lady love, I'm writing this down
Because I'm losing it, giving up
Why should I find my way?
Or maybe just fly away?
I'm living life day to day on the wire
Sometimes I only see what's right in front of me
There's something about these tired eyes
That make me feel like everyone here needs some time
To figure out how to

[Chorus]
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down

[Verse 2]
The feeling's far too strong to stay
And the ceiling's too far gone away
Everyone here is looking out for who's looking now
Who's looking now?
I will let them down
Sometimes I only see what's right in front of me
There's something about these tired eyes
That make me feel like everyone here needs some time
To figure out how to

[Chorus]
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down

[Bridge]
We all, we all have somewhere else to be right now
We all, we all want someone else to be right now
We all, we all need sometime else to be right now
We all, we all have somewhere else to be right now
There's something about these tired eyes
That make me feel like everyone here needs some time
To figure out how to

[Chorus]
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down
