Shelter Lyrics

I'm a hurricane
I'm a freight train
Ain't the right way
But it's the only way I know

So when my bones come tumblin' in
I did it to myself
Will you still let me in

Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
From myself
Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
From myself
From myself

I'm a world of pain
And you're a safe place
When I run away
You're the only home I know
I'm still runnin'
I'm still runnin'

So when my bones come tumblin' in
Oh I did it to myself
Will you still let me in

Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
From myself
Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
From myself
From myself

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Cause I need shelter
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
From myself

Cause when my bones come tumblin' in
Oh I did it to myself
Will you still let me in
Will you still let me in

Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
From myself
Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
Will you give me shelter
From myself
From myself

Cause I'm a hurricane
I'm a freight train
