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

Wow, 5 pages, and no one came up with anything that is really believable. I think the lyrics in this song are too piecemeal to really get it, and too vague. But I agree with those who think he is getting dumped. I think she has been cheating on him. He knows it, and she is chickening out by not telling him the truth. He wants her, sexually and romantically. Dance, Dance, I'm assuming is her dancing around the real reason as to why she is breaking up with him. I think these are the lives you love to lead just means that people sometimes secretly love drama surrounding their love life. It's filled with emotion and passion, and people like the excitement. These guys come up with amazing, fresh lyrics. I think they're lyrical geniuses.

This song is about a guy who's basically a loser, and he wants this girl to dance with him; just pity him. But I can't see how Patrick thinks he's a loser. He's fine! I love F.O.B.

BTW, someone tell Pete to discard his Sidekick.

I don't blame u, for being u, but u can't blame me, for hating this.......

Ah, c'mon guys...T_T The question isn't 'who can hate/love fall out boy the most', it's 'what does the song mean to you'? I don't care if you want to say you hate them/love them, just provide something insightful while you're at it -_-;

"Tonight it's 'it can't get much worse' versus 'no one should ever feel like'"...I think he's stuck between two emotions in this part. He's upset--it can't get much worse--and he's mad--this shouldn't be happening. I don't think he's really sure whether to be mad or just sad...but at the same time, this song changes courses like, eleventy million times XD It's really hard to analyze this because he changes courses so many times, y'know? -_-;

Y'know...it's so weird that someone mentioned Zelda, because I was playing that the other day and I was singing that line when I died =0 You guys are flipping awesome! Way to read my mind (or be standing outside my window, whatever XD)

On a completely unrelated note, I think this is the only fall out boy song I like...-_-;

Oh! And back on page 4 or something like that, someone (can't remember who) posted like, an entire stanza I'd never heard...

OK what I thought was close to the cheating. But he is sleeping with someone who is already taken.
like everyones fav verse
why don't you show me
a little bit of spine
youve been saving for his mattress
i only want sympathy
in the form of you
crawling into bed with me

SHes chickening out on telling her man about him
He doesnt want her to say "Yeah I know its hard"(sympathy) he wants her to stay and not go back to the other guy...
I have no clue again but its just my take.

Both Panic! and Fall out boy suck LOADS.

They ar eliked only by midless pop fiends, who only like what they see on MTV.

I interviewed Pete Wentz a while back and he said that this song was written as a tribute to the many-a-nights he likes to spend "dancing" in bed with 7 year old boys.
