Lyrics
Don't leave me with the shakes
Expressing a plea not to be left in a vulnerable and shaky state.
Don't hang me out to dry
Requesting not to be abandoned or exposed to difficulty.
If you knew what it takes
Implying that if the person understood the effort involved, they would recognize the speaker's sincere attempt.
Then you would know I'm trying
Highlighting the speaker's earnest endeavor and the desire for acknowledgment.
Not a wave in this whole lake
Metaphorically suggesting that no disturbance in the surroundings will have a significant impact on the speaker's emotions.
Is gonna make it out to sea
Emphasizing the containment of emotions, implying they won't escalate to a larger emotional turmoil.
Watch the paper sailor's rain
Observing the consequences when someone is pushed beyond their limits, akin to paper sailors being ruined by rain.
When you push them out too deep
Warning against pushing someone too far, as it may lead to their metaphorical drowning.
No tangled exit
Stating there is no complicated or tangled departure.
No graceless goodbye
Emphasizing a departure without awkwardness or lack of grace.
Just this reckless effort
Describing a bold and daring effort, possibly impulsive.
To make you think twice
Suggesting that the reckless effort is aimed at making the other person reconsider their actions or decisions.
Don't leave me with the shakes
Repetition for emphasis on the plea not to be left in a shaky state, underscoring the importance of the request.
Don't leave me with the shakes
-Don't leave me with the shakes
-Don't leave me with the shakes
-Don't leave me with the shakes
-Don't leave me with the shakes
-Don't leave me with the shakes
-Don't leave me with the shakes
-Don't leave me with the shakes
-Don't leave me with the shakes
-Don't leave me with the shakes
A final, desperate plea to avoid being left in a vulnerable and unstable condition.
