The tune comes from a familiar place -- Valencia's celebrated third LP, 'Dancing with a Ghost.' The eye behind the camera, however, is a welcome surprise. Guitarist Brendan Walter directed, shot and co-produced the entire new video alongside old friend and filmmaker Chris Newhard. The result is a mix of narrative and performance concluding in an epic crescendo of sight and sound. Filmed in the band's native Pennsylvania, it's also a distinct tribute to their roots.
LYRICS:
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 your around.
I'd be lost without you.
I'm not sure I could face this world on my own.
No, I don't wanna go on alone.
I don't wanna go on alone.
I don't wanna go.
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 your around.
I'd be lost without you.
I'm not sure I could face this world on my own.
No, I don't wanna go on alone.
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.
I don't wanna go on alone.
I don't wanna go on alone.
I don't wanna go on alone.
