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
