Tokyo Police Club - Edgy Lyrics

I know a man who could never relax
Lonely in his bed, going over his tracks
I know a man at the break of dawn
He goes on, he goes on, he goes on
I know a girl who keeps to herself
Pushed all her dreams to the back of a shelf
I know a girl and she's almost gone
She goes on, she goes on, she goes on

And it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
They wanna build you up and make you a national treasure
They wanna tear you apart and baby, you're feeling the pressure

I'm not gonna stand up
Oh, they're so great, they're so cool

I know a boy who can barely breathe
Ain't caught a breath since he was seventeen
I know a boy with an iron lung
He goes on, he goes on, he goes
My daddy says, "Don't sweat it"
My daddy says, "Don't forget it"
My daddy says, "Don't let it get you down"

'Cause it's alright
Yeah, it's alright, oh
They wanna build you up and make you a national treasure
They wanna tear you apart and baby, you're feeling the pressure
Well shake me alright
Wake me already
It's taking all night
And it's making me edgy, yeah

It doesn't end like this
Oh, no, no
It doesn't end like this
Oh, no, no
It doesn't end like this
Like this

Cheap shot
One more time

Shake me alright
Wake me already
It's taking all night
And it's making me edgy
Shake me alright
Shake me
It's taking all night
And it's making me edgy, ooh
