don't leave me with the shakes
don't hang me out to dry
if you knew what it takes
then you would know i'm trying
not a wave in this whole lake
is gonna make it out to sea

watch the paper sailor's rain
when you push them out too deep

no tangled exit
no graceless goodbye
just this wreckless effort
to make you think twice

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
don't leave me with the shakes
