Dancing In The Dark
Shane Torrel Lyrics

I get up in the evening
I wake up in the evening and I feel empty inside

And I ain't got nothing to say
I don't have anything important to share with anyone

I come home in the morning
I return home in the morning

I go to bed feeling the same way
I go to bed feeling just as empty as when I woke up

I ain't nothing but tired
I feel exhausted and drained

Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
I'm sick and tired of feeling the way I do and I'm bored of my own company

Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
I need you to help me find meaning and purpose in my life

You can't start a fire
You can't make progress or create anything new

You can't start a fire without a spark
You need a catalyst, a spark, to ignite change

This gun's for hire
I'm available for anything you need me for

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if all we're doing is going through the motions without direction or purpose

Message keeps getting clearer
Things are becoming more apparent and obvious to me

Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I'm listening to music and trying to find the motivation to get up and do something

I check my look in the mirror
I look at myself in the mirror and realize I need to make some changes

I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
I want to change everything about my appearance and personality

Man I ain't getting nowhere
I'm stuck and not making any progress

I'm just living in a dump like this
I'm living in a depressing and unfulfilling environment

There's something happening somewhere
I sense that there's something significant happening somewhere, something that could change my life

Baby I just know that there is
I have a strong feeling that something big is going to happen

You sit around getting older
You waste time and age without achieving anything

There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I realize that I've been the butt of my own joke, not taking my life seriously enough

I'll shake this world off my shoulders
I'll do whatever it takes to free myself from the burden of my own problems and challenges

Come on baby this laugh's on me
I'm ready to let go and move on with a positive attitude, and take responsibility for my own happiness

Stay on the streets of this town
If you remain in this town, you'll be subjected to hardship and struggle

And they'll be carving you up alright
They will manipulate and use you for their own gain

They say you gotta stay hungry
They say that you need to be eager and motivated to succeed

Hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm desperate to find purpose and meaning in my life

I'm dying for some action
I'm eager to experience something exciting and new

I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I'm fed up with being stagnant and trying to write my life story without any major changes or accomplishments

I need a love reaction
I need to find love and connection to fill the void in my life

Come on now baby gimme just one look
I'm asking for a chance, just one opportunity to change my life and find happiness

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
You can't move forward and create something new if you're stuck in the past and holding on to heartache

You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
You can't make progress or create anything new if you're constantly worried and anxious

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if all we can do is go through the motions without direction or purpose, we still have to keep moving forward

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if all we can do is go through the motions without direction or purpose, we still have to keep moving forward

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if all we can do is go through the motions without direction or purpose, we still have to keep moving forward

Hey baby
This is a term of endearment or familiarity, perhaps directed towards the person who can help them find meaning or purpose
