Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Driftin' through the halls with the sunrise
(Holdin' on for your call)
Climbing up the walls for that flashing light
(I can never let go)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Holdin' on for your call)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Maybe not tonight)
[Verse 2]
Now the sun is up and I'm going blind
(Holdin' on for your call)
Another dream just to pass the time
(I can never say no)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Holdin' on for your call)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
[Chorus]
It's a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning round
Never knew I was a dancer
Till Delilah showed me how
[Verse 3]
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around
[Verse 4]
Now I'm dancin' with Delilah and her vision is mine
(Holdin' on for your call)
A different kind of danger in the daylight
(I can never let go)
Take anything to cut you I can find
(Holdin' on for your call)
A different kind of danger in the daylight
(Can't you let me know?)
[Verse 5]
Now it's one more boy and it's one more line
(Holdin' on for your call)
Taking the pills just to pass the time
(I can never say no)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Holdin' on for your call)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
[Chorus]
It's a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning round
Never knew I was a dancer
Till Delilah showed me how
[Verse 6]
Now I'm dancin' with Delilah and her vision is mine
(Holdin' on for your call)
A different kind of danger in the daylight
(I can never let go)
Take anything to cut you I can find
(Holdin' on for your call)
A different kind of danger in the daylight
(Can't you let me know?)
[Bridge]
Strung up, strung out for your love
Hanging, hung up, it's so rough
I'm wrung and wringing out
Why can't you let me know?
Strung up, strung out for your love
Hanging, hung up, it's so rough
I'm wrung and wringing out
Why can't you let me know?
[Chorus]
It's a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning round
Never knew I was a dancer
Till Delilah showed me how
[Chorus]
It's a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning round
Never knew I was a dancer
Till Delilah showed me how
[Verse 7]
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around
