Dancing
Sasha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yelling at the sky
Screaming at the world
Baby, why'd you go away?
I'm still your girl
Holding on too tight
Head up in the clouds
Heaven only knows
Where you are now

How do I love
How do I love again?
How do I trust
How do I trust again?

I stay up all night
Tell myself I'm alright
Baby, you're just harder to see than most
I put the record on
Wait 'til I hear our song
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost

Never got the chance
To say a last goodbye
I gotta move on
But it hurts to try

How do I love
How do I love again?
How do I trust
How do I trust again?

I stay up all night
Tell myself I'm alright
Baby, you're just harder to see than most
I put the record on
Wait 'til I hear our song
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost

How do I love
How do I love again?
How do I trust
How do I trust again?

I stay up all night
Tell myself I'm alright
Baby, you're just harder to see than most
I put the record on
Wait 'til I hear our song
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost




Every night I'm dancing with your ghost
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost

@oogaboogas69

everyone’s talking about how this song reminds them of their significant others and i’m just here imagining my younger self dancing with me.

spinning around in a disney princess dress and making flower crowns for no one in particular; running around and shrieking as if it’s the last day on earth

everything was so simple back then: no obsessive eating habits, no feeling devoid of emotions, no depressive episodes ending with more harm than necessary, just, happy.

i would kill to feel that way again,

to finally feel free
