Nicole Atkins - Dancing in the Dark Lyrics

I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
Come home in the mornin'
Go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothin' but tired
Just tired and bored with myself
Hey man, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Message keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
Take a look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
I just know that there is

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

(Even if we're just dancin' in)
(Even if we're just dancin' in)

You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here, it's on me
Shake this world off my shoulder
Come on, man, this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
They'll be carvin' you up alright
Say you gotta stay hungry
Man, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on, gimme just one look

You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' about a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worried that your little world's fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
