  • Drifting through the halls with the sunrise
    (Holding 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
    (Holding on for your call)
    'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
    (Maybe not tonight)

    Now the sun is up and I'm going blind
    (Holding on for your call)
    Another drink just to pass the time
    (I can never say no)

    'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
    (Holding on for your call)
    'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
    (Maybe not tonight)

    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 around
    Never knew I was a dancer
    'Til Delilah showed me how

    Too fast for freedom
    Sometimes it all falls down
    These chains never leave me
    I keep dragging them around

    Now I'm dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
    (Holding on for your call)
    A different kind of danger in the daylight
    (I can never let go)
    Took anything to cut you, I can find
    (Holding on for your call)
    A different kind of a danger in the daylight
    (Can't you let me know?)

    Now it's one more boy and it's one more lie
    (Holding 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
    (Holding on for your call)
    'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
    (Maybe not tonight)

    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 around
    Never knew I was a dancer
    'Til Delilah showed me how

    Now I'm dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
    (Holding on for your call)
    A different kind of danger in the daylight
    (I can never let go)
    Took anything to cut you, I can find
    (Holding on for your call)
    A different kind of a danger in the daylight
    (Can't you let me know?)

    Strung up, strung out for your love
    Hang in, hung up, it's so rough
    I'm wrung and ringing out
    Why can't you let me know?

    Strung up, strung out for your love
    Hang in, hung up, it's so rough
    I'm wrung and ringing out
    Why can't you let me know?

    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 around
    Never knew I was a dancer
    'Til Delilah showed me how

    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 around
    Never knew I was a dancer
    'Til Delilah showed me how

    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 Writer/s: Florence Leontine Mary Welch, Isabella Janet Florentina Summers
