Third time on a jet plane, first time leaving home Land on a dusty island at the age of 21 Wasting through the dark new friends in the night Town lights sparkle in the distance filling up my eyes And we danced, and we danced, and we danced our lives And we danced, and we danced, and we danced our lives And we danced our lives away, we danced our lives away So many reasons to stay, but you danced your life away Young couple on the couch, cigarettes on the floor Just one look could read me and walks me out the door You made your friends my friends, and us too thick as thieves I'm proud if I'm another martyr, why'd you have to leave? And we danced, and we danced, and we danced our lives And we danced, and we danced, and we danced our lives And we danced our lives away, we danced our lives away So many reasons to stay, but you danced your life away You're best not being slept in, silence I've been We're the worst silhouette that I'd ever seen You're best not being slept in, you're best not being slept in You're best not being slept in, and no one heard you crying You're best not being slept in, silence I've been And we danced, and we danced, and we danced our life And we danced, and we danced, and we danced our lives And we danced our lives away, we danced our lives away So many reasons to stay, but you danced your life away You danced your life away
