SHOOT ME DOWN Lyrics

[Chorus]
Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow
Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow

[Verse 1]
Slowly lost my mind
What if this heart breaks into something that I'm unable to heal?
And what about the time?
I try my best to make it okay every day, but either way

[Pre-Chorus]
No one can stop me now
I feel the rain upon my face again
This is the life, woah, and they're gonna say I'm a handful
But they don't keep me alive, ooh

[Chorus]
Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow
Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
Wе'll do it somehow

[Verse 2]
Lonely herе tonight
No one I can speak to right now
Might remain here underneath the sheets
A lot of wasted time
Just thinkin' things that don't excel me
It starts to rain, but that won't hurt 'cause

[Pre-Chorus]
No one can stop me now
I feel the rain upon my face again
This is the life, oh, and they're gonna say I'm a handful
But they don't keep me alive, ooh

[Chorus]
So don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'm gon' stick around
We'll do it somehow
Don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow, do it somehow

[Instrumental Outro]

About

This song bio is unreviewed

In “SHOOT ME DOWN,” Rex Orange County discusses the common theme of WHO CARES?–self-acceptance–in light of a suffering relationship.

More specifically, Rex implores what is likely a romantic partner to “stick around” for him in light of relationship strain. As his word choice throughout the song evidences, this strain is seemingly a result of him not developing as an individual at the same rate as his partner, but later verses demonstrate he is putting great effort into both coping with his present situation and working on bettering himself in light of future ones.
