So tell me, tell me.
Have you ever really danced on the edge;
Is something still scaring you?
Have you ever really danced on the edge;
The count of three is up.
Have you ever really danced on the edge;
Alright then tell me so.
Have you ever really danced on the edge;
Just hold my hand and jump
The singer is asking if you've "ever really danced on the edge" which one would assume means have "you" ever taken a big risk?
Is something still scaring you? one could assume that something in the past has happened, with the same consequences as "dancing on the edge. " The one who the singer is singing to is still afraid of taking risks and "dancing on the edge" .
The count of three is up the time that "you" had to be safe and stay away from the edge is over, the time for you to be on the edge is over, "you" had your chance to test it, but the time is up. It's time to face the danger.
Just hold my hand and jump the time for dancing is over, take "my" hand and "we" will stop skirting on the edge of danger, dancing on the edge, together "we" can jump headfirst into madness.

Wishing on a star, that's just a satellite.
Driving in a car with broken tail-lights.
Growing up with eyes glued shut
The singer is talking about wishing on a light in the sky, which they think is a star, but it's just a satellite. The car they drove was broken, everything they thought was good was somehow damaged in a way, but they couldn't see it. They grew up with "eyes glued shut" meaning the true horrors of the world were shielded from them as they grew up, the satellites were stars, the cars didn't have a problem. They could look at everything and be full of wonder, instead of the cold, hard, realism that comes with being "grown up".

be the drugs and I could be the dealer
Everything you say is like music to my ears

You could be the corpse and I could be the killer
If I could be
I believe that this means the singer could be in a higher position of power than the one they're singing to.
The killer kills a person, making it a corpse. The corpse is nothing without the killer.
The devil, in theory, punishes the sinner.
The dealer is the one who distributes the drugs.
The singer could be saying "you are nothing without me" because a corpse/sinner/drug is nothing/has no power without the killer/devil/dealer.

What doesn't kill you,
Makes you wish you were dead
One would think that this line means that the horrible things "you" could go through could be quite dreadful but they don't actually kill you, however these things could be so horrible that they made you wish they had killed you or that they were so bad that you wish you weren't alive to live through them.

All of the dirt, you've been throwin' my way
Explanation from episode
In the episode of Glee where this song is presumed to be written (Original Song, Season 2, Episode 16) the coach of the Glee Glub, Will Schuester, is helping his Glee Club students create original songs. Two girls mention Sue Sylvester (The cheerleading coach who has made it her mission to destroy the glee club) and how she filled their lockers with dirt. Another girl mentions how Sue threw sticks in her hair. Putting the two together you can see where the lyrics came from.
Assumption of what the lyrics mean outside the show
This could be a metaphor for insults and other metaphorical dirt that "you" (anyone the song is directed to) are saying about the singer.

love, you lost, you never held on
We tried our best... turn out the
The narrator is saying that they cannot go on without someone's love. As it appears they are singing this sentence to someone. The person stopped loving the narrator, but they lost because they never held on. The thing they lost is, like most of this song, up to interpretation. However one would assume this line means that the narrator is saying what they lost was the narrator themselves, because they didn't hold on to the love they had.

This is telling the audience how Danny gained his ghostly powers. He steps inside his parents' "Very strange machine" and he accidentally hit's the "on" switch inside the machine. When he hits the "on" switch an electric-like flash goes off. Danny gets shocked by whatever is inside the machine when it is turned on and it effects his molecules. You can see the phantom-plasma substance seep into his DNA. The substance has an effect on his DNA, turning it "ghostly."
