Lyrics for Dance, Dance as interpreted by AllStarMe

Dance, Dance Lyrics
She says she's no good
With words, but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
A joke of a romantic
Or stuck to my tongue

Weighed down with words
Too overdramatic
Tonight it's "It can't get much worse"
Vs. "No one should ever feel like"

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget
How your voice sounds
These words are all I have
So I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Dance, dance
We're falling apart to halftime
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

You always fold just
Before you're found out
Drink up, it's last call, last resort
But only the first mistake

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget
How your voice sounds
These words are all I have
So I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Why don't you show me
A little bit of spine
You've been saving
For his mattress, love?

Dance, dance
We're falling apart to halftime
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Why don't you show me
A little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress?
I only want sympathy
In the form of you
Crawling into bed with me

Dance, dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
(Way they'd love)
Dance, this is the way they'd love
(Way they'd love)
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance

to everyone who doesnt know what pete says in the backround of the song right before the firse chorus (38 seconds into the song) it is: "WE'RE GOING TO B-MINOR". listen to it loud enough and you can hear it fine.
this is song is about sex.
think about it.

I wish songs would stop confusing people. When they make their videos sometimes it doesn't relate at all to the song.

Fuckin' right I love this song. I have a strange version that I downloaded where he says some wierd things right before the chorus that they don't have in the version that they play on the radio. Fall out boy is cool but this song is kick ass!

I hate Fall Out Boy with a firey, burning passion, but GODDAMMIT this song is catchy. I don't care what it means; it just makes me move around in the same way that only Placebo, Bowie, and T Rex can make me. Dammit!

i think this song is a half-hearted eulogy to mr. miyagi, written the day after his tragic demise.

they didnt steal the song from Alexisisonfire... they stole it from The Audition. It's in an issue of AP during an interview with The Audition and the story is called "Dance, Dance" listen/ read the lyrics to The Auditions "La Rivaliita." Pete heard about the idea and what they were doing with it and decided to take it up as his own and since their album came out earlier than The Audition's debut album, there was nothing TA could do about it. I like fall out boy, but if that's the case, I'm really disappointed in them and I kinda lose some respect for them if so.

This song is starting to drive me crazy, they play it way to much, i used to love it, but i think now i hate it! I agree with TerriLynn when she says FUSE rocks and MTV sucks! Fuse has way better music on it, mtv just plays posers and wannabes!

dance dance to me sort of means....go on, pretend, act like everythings all right

there is a couple or just friends who are having problems in their relationship, its unraveling faster than they know how to fix it, but for one night they should just dance and forget about it,
he wants her to sleep with him anyways even though he knows shes cheating, etc.

Apparently I heard from a friend who has been listening to Fall Out Boy since day one three years ago, that the whispering in the background on the album is Pete saying "i want you to dance your fucking heart out". Now, since he obviously cant swear on tv, he whispers other stuff, like, "we are going to B-minor," or "i just miss you so bad".

OH! and Pete explained on their website that "I'm two quarters and a heart down" meant that at the time, he was trying to make a phone call and it was fifty cents that he didn't have. So, it obviously down hearted him.

The demo version has the words..."we will own your thoughts...we'll own the songs stuck in your head....we'll leave you kicking and screaming so you can thank us in the end" much better I think...but a little too warped for the masses.

if you reverse the part before the chorus and compress it a bunch. you can hear "you know what I think about you."

What the hell.. there's a whole verse missing from these lyrics between 'so you need them just to get by" and 'dance dance..."

it goes something like this
we will own your thoughts
we'll own the song stuck in your head
we'll leave you kicking and screaming
so you can thank us in the end.

Why has noone mentioned this?

Anyway, awesome song that isnt about a damn prostitute or a groupie..every song is about either a prostitute a groupie, drugs or columbine with you people.. god.

I think it's about a relationship that's falling apart and the whole 'one last dance' thing. She's leaving him and he still loves her, so he wants to remember her last words, but only because they're hers.
