Mr Grin Lyrics
You can shake it off, don't come close to me.
You can take it off, well I don't wanna see.
You can shake it off, you can take it off
Just don't shake it off on me.
Sing so, when I open up my window
All I ever hear is voices, another day I won't get dressed.
I guess, it's wrong, sitting there alone so lonesome,
Clock tickin' on like Mr. Grin, stuck in someone else's mess.
You step a little bit closer and I start to become unsure.
You step a little more closer and I start looking for the door.
You get a little more closer and the fear in my heart gets strong
There's poetry in what you do, it's a shame that it's just so wrong.
I can shake it off, don't come close to me.
I can shake it off, you're not my enemy.
Once you made me fall, once you made me crawl.
But I can shake it off, you'll see. (Just like Mr. Grin)
Home time, everybody needs their own time
I'm a disconnected phone line, you didn't even pass that test.
Wrong again, you make a small correction,
I look twice, you come in my direction.
Alright, welcome to the wilderness.
They say, you didn't want it but you have to pay
You didn't want it but you have to pay
You didn't want it but you have to pay
You have to pay for it anyway, ey.
You didn't want it but you have to pay
You didn't want it but you have to pay
You didn't want it but you have to pay
You have to pay for it anyway, ey.
I can shake it off, don't come close to me.
I can shake it off, you're not my enemy.
Once you made me fall, once you made me crawl.
But I can shake it off, you'll see. (Just like Mr. Grin)
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Voices, I won't get dressed
Voice, voice, voice, voices,
I won't get dressed
I can shake it off, don't come close to me.
I can shake it off, you're not my enemy.
Once you let me down, once you mess me round.
But I can shake it off, you'll see.
Just like Mr. Grin
Once you let me down, once you mess me round.
But I can shake it off, you'll see.
You can take it off, well I don't wanna see.
You can shake it off, you can take it off
Just don't shake it off on me.
All I ever hear is voices, another day I won't get dressed.
I guess, it's wrong, sitting there alone so lonesome,
Clock tickin' on like Mr. Grin, stuck in someone else's mess.
You step a little more closer and I start looking for the door.
You get a little more closer and the fear in my heart gets strong
There's poetry in what you do, it's a shame that it's just so wrong.
I can shake it off, you're not my enemy.
Once you made me fall, once you made me crawl.

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
To me, this song is about a relationship that makes the singer feel physically sick and mentally ill, possibly due to it being a dysfunctional one.
I'm not sure what the reference to Mr Grin is, however. I know there's a character in the 'Alex Ryder' series of teen novels called Mr Grin but I doubt that's what The Feeling are referencing.
