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

i absolutely love Fall out boy and this song but there is one bit that both me and my friend argue over- what does the line "i'm 2 quarters and a heart down" mean, i understand the heart bit but not the 2 quarters maybe it's because im british. But we thought it might be refering to condoms after a one night stand with someone he loves?

Yeah, brand new closer than fall out boy to pop rock? ha, brand new is more closer to lyrics containing words that someone like you would have to look up in a dictionary, not at all mainstream. I love fall out boys old stuff, but too say brand new is closer to pop rock is just plain ignorant.

I saw this as a relationship on the rocks. The girl has been cheating on the guy and he is going through the usual mixed-emotions

"We're falling apart to half time" shows he knows they're falling out, but he is almost reminding her with the "dance, dance" bit to remember all the good times they had together.

Made me realise that even if something is over, you should still be grateful for all the good times you shared with that person. =)

Because that's all the band can write about, Tara. It's where their creativity starts...and stops...

Well, no offense to any FOB fans, but this song is kinda sucky for FOB, just like most of their stuff. The only reason I am posting is because I am gonna say this: FOB aren't the best, but they have ONE HECK OF A STAGE PERFORMANCE!!! >:D rock on!!!! and listen to more Metallica! lol

Hi guys, Pete here, it's great reading your comments, but me and Patrick just wanna clear this up. The song is about a girl I liked in high school, I tried impressing her with over-dramatic romantic gestures, but I was just no good with words. She ended up dating my best friend, she said sorry but in my anger I said she would get my forgiveness if she slept with me. No luck there!Anyway, come prom night my friend ditched for someone else and she was falling apart.So I danced to cheer her up!FALL OUT BOY XO

Hey "Pete",

Since you feel like you need to explain your song to us, allow me to explain something for you:

Your music sucks. Please stop writing songs.

P.S. I didn't know you were only 18 years old (according to your profile). Why the hell would you pretend to be a member of such a crappy band?

Actually, the Pearl part was named after Eddie's grandmother and the Jam part was taken when the members of PJ went to a Neil Young concert and he played like 9 songs in 3 hours, just jamming away. True story. Taken from the new issue of Rolling Stone, which has Eddie Vedder on the cover.
