Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dan had very long limbs, from leading day to day
Hanging onto a cliff, that stretched him every day
And when she'd ask to hold hands, he would smile and
Let one of his hands go, his whole life in one hand
His whole life
[Verse 2]
And when he'd say, "Goodnight," and leave her doorstep
He'd use his last strength to wave back
And once back in his room, once back in his room
He'd return his waving hand back to its cliff
He liked her more than life itself, I'm sure
[Chorus]
'Cause Dan had never danced outside of his room
When no one was home and he would start to hear the door
So when he moved with you and felt his body let go
Of course, you couldn't know it was you and you alone that he had
Shown his bedroom dancer to, shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to, shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to, shown his bedroom dancer to
[Outro]
And he would never tell you that it was his first time
