Dance the night away

I hold my breath and count the

street Hands in my pockets,

jaw clenched tight

Your eyes say go but your hands say no

I step in time with a warning light

Heart on a wire,

I move too slow Till the room turns sharp and the floor

feels bright (ahhhh)

I feel the ceiling start to bend Like storm heat pressing on

my skin

If I don't jump,

I'll never land So count me out,

then pull me in Dance the night away,

I can't stay still

Dance the night away,

on the edge of the thrill If it breaks my heart,

let it break in time

Dance the night away,

till the dark feels kind (ooh)

Your laugh is smoke in my lungs again Sweet and cruel in

the same breath

I spin too close to the bitter end

But I'm not done flirting with regret (hummmm)

The room goes quiet for a beat

Then comes back heavy like a wave

Say my name over the kick drum

And I will give you what you take

Dance the night away,

I can't stay still Dance the night away,

on the edge of the thrill If it breaks my heart,

let it break in time Dance the night away,

till the dark feels kind (ahhhh)

Hold me close to the noise outside

Let it roar till the fear goes thin

I don't need peace,

I need a sign

That I can lose,

and still get in

Dance the night away,

I can't stay still Dance the night away,

on the edge of the thrill If it breaks my heart,

let it break in time Dance the night away,

till the dark feels kind (ooh)

Dance the night away
