Dance Dance
Fall Out Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Barely stuttered out a joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too overdramatic
Tonight it's it can't get much worse
Versus 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 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 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 and I
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 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 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? (Mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me
Dance, dance
We're falling apart to halftime
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you 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
The lyrics of Fall Out Boy's song Dance Dance convey a plea for connection and understanding from someone who struggles to communicate effectively. The singer acknowledges his own shortcomings in expressing himself, stating that he is "worse" than the person he is addressing. He describes being burdened by words that are "overdramatic," which suggests that he overthinks or overcomplicates his feelings. Despite this, he emphasizes the importance of his words, claiming that "these words are all I have so I write them so you need them just to get by."
The chorus of "Dance Dance" repeats the command to dance, suggesting that despite the challenges of communication, staying active and engaged is crucial. The line "We're falling apart to halftime" could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling disconnected or stuck in a difficult situation, but with the plea to dance, it implies that this can be rectified with a change in attitude or approach. The song also touches on themes of loneliness and desperation, with lines like "misery loved me" and "I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me."

Lyrics:
She says, she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out a joke of a romantic 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 wanna 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 half time
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you 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, and I
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 half time
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you 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 (Mattress, 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 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.

My #1 most well received and complimented Karaoke song, and Pat Stump is one of the inspirations of the way I sing. Pat Stump, Brendon Urie, Chester Bennington, Brandon Boyd, and Chris Cornell shaped how I sing.
