Dancing With A Ghost

Valencia Dancing With A Ghost歌詞
1.Spinning Out

I remember it so clearly. It was a dark, grey, rainy day*
I came over, feeling sorry, standing drunk there from the rain.
Yeah, you opened up the doorway, feeling broken from the start.
You let me in, and I began.

I feel like I'm in over my head, I just always self destruct.
I guess I'm blinded by the sudden loss of love.
I wonder who picks up the pieces when we fall apart.
Even empires burn to ashes and don't know where to start.

Spinning out, I think we've lost control.
We're burning down every letter that we wrote.
Bruised for now, some bruises just don't fade.
I know somehow, some way, things will get better.

I remember it so clearly as you walked out of your door.
You said, 'Wait, wait. I can't take no more of the slurred
excuses.'
Every single word I ever said was in your benefit.

I felt my world fall down around me, my world jut split apart.
Guess it's alright when your left with broken hearts,
because you grow with good intentions,
you learn more about this life.
I watched our empire burn to ashes
as you left me there that night.

Spinning out, I think we've lost control.
We're burning down every letter that we wrote.
Bruised for now, some bruises just don't fade.
I know somehow, some way, things will get better.

Spinning out, I think we've lost control.
We're burning down every letter that we wrote.
Bruised for now, some bruises just don't fade.
I know somehow, some way, things will get better.

Don't wait, can't take more of this mess.
You're late on every broken promise,
and all I want is for everything to be alright again.
But I can't wait again.

I can't take no more.

Spinning out, I think we've lost control.
We're burning down every letter that we wrote.
Bruised for now, some bruises just don't fade.
I know somehow, some way, things will get better.

Spinning out, I think we've lost control.
We're burning down every letter that we wrote.
Bruised for now, some bruises just don't fade.
I know somehow, some way, things will get better.


2.Still Need You Around (Lost Without You)

作詞:Michael Joseph Green, Shane Henderson, Brendan Walter, Simon
Wilcox

It's times like these
Where I lose myself in the stories
My old man would tell about life
True love and war
The kind of war where you beat yourself

'Cause now I've got this stomach pain
The kind of pain that gets worse
When the rain hits hard
Like my fist when I try to explain
To the wall this mess I'm in

See, I'm tired now and my mind won't quit
Since I got the news that you were sick
I thought of life, of time and death
If I could only use my breathe

I'd breathe my life into your lungs
With love and strength
I have faith, I will lift you up
It's a lesson learned

As we move on
I still need you around
I'd be lost without you
I'm not sure I can face
This world on my own

No, I don't wanna go on alone
No, I don't wanna go on alone
I don't wanna go

Now I'm terrified that this fear exists
And I'm scared I'll come to terms with it
But that's life, you are what you leave
Like the simple lessons my dad taught me

I know we all grow old and die
And make our place in another life
I'm glad that there's still time
To let you know

I still need you around
I'd be lost without you
I'm not sure I can face
This world on my own

No, I don't wanna go on alone
No, I don't wanna go on alone
I don't wanna go

So live it up, live it up
'Cause you'll never know, never know
Time is always running
It will always guide you home

So live it up, live it up
'Cause you'll never know, never know
Time is always running
It will always guide you home

So live it up, live it up
'Cause you'll never know, never know
Time is always running
It will always guide you home

I don't wanna go on alone
(It's times like these where I lose myself)
I don't wanna go on alone
(It's times like these where I lose myself)

No, I don't wanna go on alone
(It's times like these where I lose myself)
I don't wanna go on alone


3.Dancing With A Ghost

作詞:Michael Joseph Green, Shane Henderson, Brendan Walter, Simon
Wilcox

Have you skipped through broken records
Of your past and future self
Desperate to find exactly how it was you felt
'Cause when you fell, you fell hard
From dancing with a ghost

When you don't understand the walls
That break your hopes of going home
The truth hurts a lot more when it's from someone that you love
It'll make you fall and fall hard
You're dancing with a ghost

It's in the middle of your head
The middle of your head

Don't say you don't, don't know what it's like
Try sinking your teeth in, taste the commitment
You'll feel better when you face, face all of your fears
Don't take it out on the music, feel your feet moving

Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
When you're dancing with a ghost

Some days I float too far away from every point I try to make
I stumble over words get lost in empty boring phrase
If I don't make sense and I don't connect
The feeling just escapes

So just take me as I am and push me, put me in my place
'Cause if I just pretend I'll feel like everything's okay
And when I fall, I'll fall hard
From dancing with a ghost

It's in the middle of my head
The middle of my head

Don't say you don't, don't know what it's like
Try sinking your teeth in, taste the commitment
You'll feel better when you face, face all of your fears
Don't take it out on the music, feel your feet moving

Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Sometimes you feel complete and sometimes you feel hollow
Don't be afraid of change 'cause you know
It's all in the middle of your head, stop living in the past

Alright
I'm dancing with a ghost

Don't say you don't, don't know what it's like
Try sinking your teeth in, taste the commitment
You'll feel better when you face, face all of your fears
Don't take it out on the music, feel your feet moving

Don't say you don't, don't know what it's like
Try sinking your teeth in, taste the commitment
You'll feel better when you face, face all of your fears
Don't take it out on the music, feel your feet moving
When you're dancing with a ghost


4.Consider Me Dead

作詞:George John Ciukurescu, Shane Henderson, Jonathan Perry,
Maxim Soria, Brendan Walter

You don't need me now
So I'll show myself out
I've learned my lesson
If there is nothing left to hold onto
Then there is nothing to let go

Consider me dead
Consider me dead like this
Consider me dead

Hello, I'm sorry that I wasn't listening
Why the long face, man?
Why the long face, man?

I swear I care
But you claim not enough
You should've made a difference
When you had a chance

So consider me dead
Consider me dead like this

If that's how you roll, then roll
If there is nothing left to hold onto
If that's how you roll, then roll
If there is nothing left to hold onto

If that's how you roll, then roll
Then there is nothing to let go

Consider me dead
Consider me dead like this
Consider me dead like this
Consider me dead


5.Losing Sleep

作詞:George John Ciukurescu, Shane Henderson, Jonathan Perry,
Maxim Soria, Brendan Walter

I'm losing too much sleep these days
Some say that my life ain't safe
I guess I'm trying to find the words to say
That maybe I'm tired

I've been drinking way too much these days
I can't even remember my face
Until I wake up in another state
In a town unexpected

And see myself as I'm changing shape
Unlike a coward who changes face
I'm turning myself in today
I gotta finish what I start

Give me the chance to speak my mind
My opinions are the social kind
If it's you for you and I for I
One of us is gonna leave here blind

You know I won't give up without a fight
Even if I'm the one who's wrong
And you're who's right

It's not right to be brought down
By words from an unknown mouth
They think that they've figured me out
But they don't even know me

'Cause this has taken a turn for the worst
As fate showed up in a blacked out hearse
Ready to carry my soul away
And bury my body

So if you checked the weather report
Then why the fuck are we driving north?
You know we're headed into the storm
To finish what we started

Just give me the chance to speak my mind
My opinions are the social kind
If it's you for you and I for I
Then one of us is gonna leave here blind

You know I won't give up without a fight
Even if I'm the one who's wrong
And you're who's right

I've been losing too much sleep these days
Some say that my life ain't safe
'Cause I've been stuck here waiting

Well, give me the chance to speak my mind
My opinions are the social kind
If it's you for you and I for I
Then one of us is gonna leave here blind

You know I won't give up without a fight
Even if I'm the one who's wrong
And you're who's right
Even if I'm the one who's wrong
And I'm who's right


6.Friday Night

作詞:Michael Joseph Green, Shane Henderson, Brendan Walter, Simon
Wilcox

It started out on a Friday night
I went out for a drive
And I never looked back

I wanted out
'Cause I knew you were right
I put it all on the line
Just to see you react

Typical breakthrough
Just different words
Used obviously
Thought you knew me

When desperate we collide
And disappear in fear
We've been living in a dream
Selfishly, I try to blur the lines
That hide that I

I guess I fucked up
I guess I was wrong
I guess you wouldn't understand
I don't regret a single moment

And if I'm fucked up
So what if you're right?
Just try to understand
That I only regret
The things I haven't done yet

When all these fights
Stem from foolish pride
You put actions aside
'Cause you can't comprehend

There's no excuse
Walk away or you lose
Whichever you choose
It's just the means to an end

I can't believe you
All that we've been through
Obviously, you don't know me

When desperate we collide
And disappear in fear
We've been living in a dream
Selfishly, I try to blur the lines
That hide that I

I guess I fucked up
I guess I was wrong
I guess you wouldn't understand
I don't regret a single moment

And if I'm fucked up
So what if you're right?
Just try to understand
That I only regret
The things I haven't done yet

My heart's the only thing
That's on my mind, it's not a crime
To feel more connected
To the things you've lost
Than the things that you've gained
What have you gained?

I guess I fucked up
I guess I was wrong
I guess you wouldn't understand
I don't regret a single moment

And if I'm fucked up
So what if you're right?
Just try to understand
That I only regret
The things I haven't done

I guess I fucked up
I guess I was wrong
I guess you wouldn't understand

And if I'm fucked up
So what if you're right?
Just try to understand
That I only regret
The things I haven't done


7.Somewhere I Belong

作詞:Michael Joseph Green, Shane Henderson, Brendan Walter, Simon
Wilcox

The dust is settling as I lie here
It was a subtle hint of what went wrong
I've been giving up, giving up
On every plan that I've made
I'm finally waking up but just a little too late

My life has always been a dead end street
With heavy eyes that shoot through me
I slipped somewhere in between
What's right and wrong

And now I drown with every breath I take
I'm sick of feeling like I can't escape
I'll get out before I go insane
To somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

I don't know who I am or how I got here
But I'm a subtle hint, the best forgotten
You'll never know, never know
What this boy could have been
I guess I finally figured out, oh

My life has always been a dead end street
With heavy eyes that shoot through me
I slipped somewhere in between
What's right and wrong

And now I drown with every breath I take
I'm sick of feeling like I can't escape
I'll get out before I go insane
To somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

Struggling to find my feet
But just in time to watch the sea
Wash away all memories of you

Giving up, giving up
On every plan that I've made
Finally waking up
But a little too late

My life has always been a dead end street
With heavy eyes that shoot through me
I slipped somewhere in between
What's right and wrong

And now I drown with every breath I take
I'm sick of feeling like I can't escape
I'll get out before I go insane
To somewhere I belong

Somewhere I belong
(Giving up, giving up)
Belong
(On every plan that I've made)

Somewhere I belong
(Finally waking up)
Belong
(But a little too late)

Giving up, giving up
(Somewhere I belong)
On every plan that I've made
Finally waking up
(Somewhere I belong)
But a little too late
(Somewhere I belong)

Giving up, giving up
(Somewhere I belong)
On every plan that I've made
Finally waking up
(Somewhere I belong)
But a little too late

Giving up, giving up
(Somewhere I belong)
On every plan that I've made
Finally waking up
(Somewhere I belong)
But a little too late


8.Days Go By

作詞:George John Ciukurescu, Shane Henderson, Jonathan Perry,
Maxim Soria, Brendan Walter

I cannot be alone
Like this for too long
I feel my walls caving

And I can't begin to describe
Just what it takes
To get me through these days
I feel my feet off the ground
Without you around

I just can't let those days go by
And there's just no peace of mind
Without you, it's hard to find
'Cause I know, I know
I lost it when I lost you

I am always changing my face
And changing my name
I'm drinking eight cups a day
I'm always awake

'Cause I am just a little insane
Neurotic and mundane
And now I'm strapped to this bed
'Cause what's in my head

I just can't let those days go by
And there's just no peace of mind
Without you, it's hard to find
'Cause I know, I know, I lost it when I lost

Your faith in my
Fucked up sense of pride
There's no reason left to fight
'Cause I know, I know
I lost it when I lost you

Don't say sorry, please
(I lost it when I lost you)
I'm going crazy for you
(I know, I know, I lost it when I lost you)

Days go by
And there's just no peace of mind
Without you, it's hard to find
I know, I know

I just can't let those days go by
And there's just no peace of mind
Without you, it's hard to find
'Cause I know, I know, I lost it when I lost you

Don't change your mind
'Cause there's so much left in life
Without you there is no I
I know, I know I lost it when I lost you

I, I lost it when I lost you
Lost it when I lost you


9.The Way

作詞:George John Ciukurescu, John William Feldmann, Shane
Henderson, Daniel Pawlovich, Jonathan Perry, Brendan Walter

It was over before you said
One step forward, three steps back
I've been wasting time
A few more years 'til I question life

I struggled with answers for every question
To why I've poured myself into this hell
'Cause all that I've died to save
Has slipped right though
Your ears and into its grave

And if you only knew what I do
You'd realize there's a curse that's upon you
And I can't stand the way
The way, the way you look at me
The way, the way, the way
My best is never enough
My best is never enough

I'll tear down the wall
That hides me from all of my alibis
Show you what you loved
Isn't it all you thought it was?

For every praise that's sung
Someone hates where it started from
But what you do defines you
'Cause all that I've died to save
Has slipped right though your ears
And into its grave

If you only knew what I do
You'd realize there's a curse that's upon you
And I can't stand the way
The way, the way you look at me
The way, the way, the way
My best is never enough

I've given my life, I've given my time
I've given my everything to you
So now I'm giving you up
I'm finally getting it right
Done with giving my everything to you
My best is never enough

If I'm made of glass
Look at me and see that my past
Told by the words I scream
A true reflection, a promise ring

No matter the pain, I feel
Something in me
It's something real
That guides me when I sing

And if you only knew what I do
You'd realize there's a curse that's upon you
And I can't stand the way
The way, the way you look at me
The way, the way, the way
My best is never enough

(The way, the way, the way)
My best is never enough
(The way, the way, the way)
My best is never enough

(The way, the way, the way)
My best is never enough
(The way, the way, the way)
My best is never enough
Never enough


10.Stop Searching

Lately I've been keeping an eye on you*
Don't know what you've been going through.
I can tell it's no good for you.
All I know is I've got to go
Before things get out of control,
Out of our hands, beyond repair.

Well, nothing is lost just because
It's not where it used to be.
Just stop searching, you could spend you whole life.
I can tell by your eyes that hope is fading fast,
When all you have to do is stop searching.
I understand people change,
But don't miss out on this chance.
You have to find yourself,
And that's exactly where you'll find me.

Did I speak too soon about the elephant in the room?
I'd survive with or without you, but what would that prove?
Wait, there's more, more than enough for the jury, I'm sure.
So state you case and give me the floor.
We may lose what we love.
It's not far away because,

nothing is lost just because
it's not where it used to be.
Just stop searching, you could spend you whole life.
I can tell by your eyes that hope is fading fast,
when all you have to do is stop searching.
I understand people change,
but don't miss out on this chance.
You have to find yourself,
and that's exactly where you'll find me.

Take what you need.
If you leave, then leave a little piece of me.

Just stop searching, you could spend you whole life.
I can tell by your eyes that hope is fading fast,
when all you have to do is stop searching.
I understand people change,
but don't miss out on this chance.
You have to find yourself,
and that's exactly where you'll find me.
Come find me. Stop searching.


11.Pieces


There's a sunny place in southern California where I can go*
When I need a break from the world, you know
That times will get harder
But I'll stay the same no matter the change

And when I arrive
I'll throw down my bags on the floor and I
I'll thank the world I've got these friends of mine
That sun that shines
These songs that get me high when I feel the need to sing

You gave up when you left me for the West
Does the coast and the ocean calm your stress?
Now you're gone, you left me in pieces
You gave up when you lost the words to say
When you find them - come on back to me
Now you're gone, you left me in pieces

I've got those friends of mine
That help me get through all the shitty times
I drink myself into these lullabies
That hide my eyes
But help me to believe I'm not as stupid as you think

Cause I show my pride
In the form of these black and blue covered eyes
A sign that my love's to be realized
Simple to find
An easy way to hide yourself
You threw my back against the wall

You gave up when you left me for the West
Does the coast and the ocean calm your stress?
Now you're gone, you left me in pieces
You gave up when you lost the words to say
When you find them - come on back to me
Now you're gone, you left me in pieces

I think we're stuck here in between
The sky that (???)
Don't tell me that we've gone this far
Without thinking of (fate?)

…you left me in pieces…

You gave up when you left me for the West
Does the coast and the ocean calm your stress?
Now you're gone, you left me in pieces
You gave up when you lost the words to say
When you find them - come on back to me
Now you're gone, you left me in pieces

I think we're stuck here in between
The sky that (???)
Don't tell me that we've gone this far
Without thinking of (fate?)

I was down on my knees
You left me in pieces
