Friday night and the scene is bright at Avalon
I walk straight to the bar in a party dress, yes
I told the bartender pour a shot and make it strong

Because she need it, tearing up
She proceeded to be [bad word] 
You can see it, tearing up
In her eyes

But when she gets home
She puts her headphones on
She plays her favorite song
And fades away
When the music’s on
She can do no wrong
Where she feels safe and calm
And it’s okay

And she says
The world keeps turning, life goes on
Yeah, she says
The world keeps turning, life goes on

Night before, had a date with a boy from Avalon
Said he’d meet her at the diner at 9 o’clock
Let the boots on line and laid on extra don
She got a table set for two
But he never made it through
And she tried to play it cool
While she cried

But when she gets home
She puts her headphones on
She plays her favorite song
And fades away
When the music’s on
She can do no wrong
Where she feels safe and calm
And it’s okay

And she says
The world keeps turning, life goes on
Yeah, she says
The world keeps turning, life goes on

You got to shake it off, shake it
Got to shake it off, shake it
Got to shake it off, shake it
Got to shake it off

Got to shake it off, shake it
Got to shake it off, shake it
Got to shake it off, shake it
Got to shake it off

The world keeps turning, life goes on
The world keeps turning, life goes on
