When You’re Dancing Lyrics by Van Andrew

Half the Man [EP]

2018

[Verse 1]
Coffee stained fingernails
Another day on the grind
Let down your hair as you drive home
To find you're locked outside

Life's not always roses
Sometimes it brings the rain
But you always seem to find a way
To smile through the pain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you
You need some time to get away
Just one song
And an empty stage

[Chorus]
'Cause when you're dancing baby
The weight of the world just fades away
And you know
You're free as a bird on this dancefloor

And when you're smiling baby
Like a disco light, you brighten up this room
Everyone knows
You're free as a bird on this dancefloor, tonight

[Verse 2]
And when you're out on the town
Friday night feeling fine
You step into this dimlit room
The lights make your eyes shine

You're not here for anyone
In this crowded room
You take off your gold as you head to the floor
And your dancing shoes

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Tonight
You need some time to get away
Honey, this is your song
So take the stage

[Chorus]
When you're dancing baby
The weight of the world just fades away
And you know
You're free as a bird on this dancefloor

And when you're smiling baby
Like a disco light, you brighten up this room
Everyone knows
You're free as a bird on this dancefloor, tonight
You're free as a bird, free as a bird

[Chorus]
When you're dancing baby
The weight of the world just fades away
And you know
You're free as a bird on this dancefloor

And when you're smiling baby
Like a disco light, you brighten up this room
Everyone knows
You're free as a bird on this dancefloor, tonight
