about

Written after hearing a comment by the ever brilliant Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap podcast about burning the candle at both ends in the pursuit of greatness, Too Many Dancefloors is a neo-soul stomper

lyrics

I'm a shadow of the boy that I was last year
There's a brighter destination in my rear view mirror
We were rolling, we were thriving
Now it seems as though we're barely surviving

No-one ever says they need you when they're needing you most
There were other times before this but they never come close
It's like I'm drowning, like I'm sinking
Now I need you to pull me back from the brink and oh

I'm dancing, on too many dancefloors
I'm asking, for too many miracles
I'm waiting, for the stars to align
But if you ask me how I'm doing
Then I'll tell you I'm fine

I'm dancing, but I'm feeling the pressure
Yeah I'm dancing, trying to keep it together
I'm dancing, need you more than I ever did
Dancing, and I'll get rid of this state in time

I feel guilty for complaining every time that we meet
Why you looking for nirvana out on Paradise Street?
It ain't easy jumping back on the treadmill
When you need to keep running to just stand still

You're the closest thing to heaven
You're my saving grace
Can you give a little hope back to a hopeless case?
When the plates keep spinning
The clock keeps ticking
You can take me back to the very beginning, before

Dancing, on too many dancefloors
I'm asking, for too many miracles
I'm waiting, for the stars to align
But if you ask me how I'm doing
Then I'll tell you I'm fine

I'm dancing, but I'm feeling the pressure
Yeah I'm dancing, trying to keep it together
I'm dancing, need you more than I ever did
Dancing, and I'll get rid of this state in time

Oh, I'm dancing, on too many dancefloors
I'm asking, for too many miracles
I'm waiting, for the stars to align
But if you ask me how I'm doing
Then I'll tell you I'm fine
