Grown up, she just turned sixteen
Stuck in the moment, dead at the scene
And it's on tonight
This is the life that you wanted, right?
So turn off all the lights
Dressed up just like a movie star
At all the parties they'll know who you are
Wouldn't it be great, to be fashionably late?
So why don't you wait, 'til you're sedated
Don't it feel like something's not right in his kiss tonight?
Yeah, what I'm saying is do you
Do you want to lose it all?
'Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you
Do you want to learn to fly?
Then you should pack it up and say goodbye
'Cause when the push comes to the shove
It's just a dance hall drug
Step in and you can lock the door
The candles are lit and the clothes on the floor
You could take a chance on finding romance
Now you're holding hands
But he's got other plans
Tick-tock, the clock is turning red
The room won't stop spinning and thoughts in your head
And it's too late
You feel like you're making a big mistake
You should've waited
Don't it feel like something's not right in his kiss tonight?
Yeah, what I'm saying is do you
Do you want to lose it all?
'Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you
Do you want to learn to fly?
Then you should pack it up and say goodbye
'Cause when the push comes to the shove
It's just a dance hall drug
So just wait, love
Show 'em what you're made of
Don't it feel like something's not right in his kiss tonight?
Do you, do you want to lose it all?
'Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you
Do you want to learn to fly?
Then you should pack it up and say goodbye
'Cause when the push comes to the shove
It's just a dance hall drug
Do you, do you want to lose it all?
'Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you
Do you want to learn to fly?

ok i just read the lyrics properly and i think:
it's about a 16 year old girl, obv. and at a party people are doing drugs, probably ecstasy, which is a drug commonly used at parties - dance halls infact - and makes people feel like they're in love.
so whilst under the influence this girl decides that, because she's now so in love, she's going to lose her virginity with our narrator.
however he realises she's under the influence and is trying to talk her out of it because he thinks she should wait till she's actually in love rather than just thinks she is because of the ecstasy.
i think the "show 'em what you're made of"" is him saying, you don't have to have sex, even though people think you should to be considered cool, don''t bother, show them all that you are better than that.
so yeah, that's my interpretation :)
