It's like dancing in a dangerous road
Crossing the lines I haven't before
And these feelings I have, I can't control
Spinning around, back and forth
People pass and always stare
But I'm feeling way too free to care
The lights fly by but they always miss
I sway around with the winds they send
The pavements carry me on and on
The horns and sounds play the familiar song
Danger never worries me
I've lost my mind and control of my feet
Carry me on through the highs and lows
Where I'm headed, I may never know
The signs say stop, but I still go
I'm dancing in a dangerous road

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
