Dance Your Life Away

(Album: The River - 2018)

Third time on a jet plane, first time leaving home
Land on a dusty island at the age of 21
Racing 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 to read me and walked me out the door
You made jokes with my friends and I still think of those thieves
A brother from another mother, 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

Your bed's not been slept in, a silent sunbeam
With the worst silhouette that I'd ever seen
Your bed's not been slept in, your bed's not been slept in
Your bed's not been slept in, and no one heard you crying
Your bed's not been slept in, a silent sunbeam

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
