Dancing In The Dark
Dalton Rapattoni Lyrics

I get up in the evening
I wake up late in the day

And I ain't got nothin' to say
I don't have anything interesting to talk about

I come home in the mornin'
I return home early in the morning

I go to bed feelin' the same way
I'm exhausted and feeling unfulfilled

And I ain't nothin' but tired
I'm just worn out

I'm just tired and bored with myself
I'm both physically and mentally drained

Hey baby
Hey there, person being addressed

I could use just a little help
I would appreciate some assistance

You can't start a fire
You need to ignite something to make it happen

You can't start a fire without a spark
A small push is necessary to create a big change

This gun's for hire
I'm available and ready to participate

Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just having a good time in obscurity

Message keeps gettin' clearer
The meaning is becoming clearer

Radio's on and I'm movin' around the place
I'm dancing while listening to the radio

I check my look in the mirror
I look at myself in the mirror

I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
I want to change my appearance

And then I ain't gettin' nowhere
But I'm not accomplishing anything

I'm just livin' in a dump like this
I'm not living my best life

Somethin' happenin' somewhere
Something is happening somewhere

Baby I just know there is
I can feel it

You're sittin' around gettin' older
You're just sitting around and aging

There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
There's something ironic or funny happening to me

I'll shake this world off my shoulders
I'll relieve myself from the burden of the world

Come on baby this laugh's on me
I can take a joke at my expense

Stay on the streets of this town
If you stay in town, you'll run into problems with others

And they'll be carvin' you up alright
They'll hurt you emotionally and mentally

They say you gotta stay hungry
They say you need to stay motivated and ambitious

Hey baby I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm in need of passion and excitement

I'm dying for some action
I'm desperate for something exhilarating

I'm sick of sittin' around tryin' to write this book
I'm bored of writing and need a break

I need a love reaction
I'm longing for a reciprocal romantic response

Come on baby now give me just one look
I need a sign from you

Sittin' around and cryin' over a broken heart
Moping won't mend a broken heart

Carin' about your little world falling apart
Worrying about your small problems isn't productive

Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
It's still worth it to have fun and enjoy life, even in the unknown

Even if we're
Even in the case that we are

Even if we dance
Even if we're just having a good time

This gun's for hire
I'm available and ready to participate

Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just having a good time in obscurity
