Shakin' off all those blues
Expressing the act of overcoming or getting rid of sadness or troubles.

And the front page had your back a funny feeling I never

Had like I was dropped off the map but one of these days
Feeling isolated or forgotten, as if dropped off the map.
You'll be calling my name with the blues one of these days
