Dance with Me
4.16 - Ra Ra Riot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I most, I mostly feel I had a good day
It wasn't that great
But if I start to move it, because I'd rather be
Getting into wonder, why don't you stay here?
But on the contrary, I live in loneliness
So lonely, so lonely
Come and dance with me, bitter sweet fool
I wanna be your toy, I wanna be your toy
Come and dance with me, bitter sweet fool
I wanna be your toy, I wanna be your toy
All I most, I mostly wish I had a bad way
All I most, I mostly wish I had a bad way
That would be so great
I'd be so up for it, you wouldn't slow me down
I always want to put it in another minute
I could run for, though it's all the same
If you want, we could try today
Come and dance with me, bitter sweet fool
I wanna be your toy, I wanna be your toy
Come and dance with me, bitter sweet fool
I wanna be your toy, I wanna be your toy
(I wanna be your toy, I wanna be your toy)
(I wanna be your toy, I wanna be your toy)
(I wanna be your toy, I wanna be your toy)
(I wanna be your toy, I wanna be your toy)
Come and dance with me, bitter sweet fool
I wanna be your toy, I wanna be your toy
Come and dance with me, bitter sweet fool
I wanna be your toy, I wanna be your toy
In Ra Ra Riot's song Dance With Me, the singer is acknowledging that the timing and circumstances of their encounter with someone are not ideal, but they are drawn to this person nonetheless. They describe the various attributes of this person - their charming face, lovely smile, and tempting lips - noting that while these qualities may remind them of someone else, they are still enjoyable in their own right. The singer suggests that they both have someone they are trying to forget, and questions whether the other person might want to forget someone too. Ultimately, they decide that if they happen to both be free at some point, it's alright with them to dance together and enjoy each other's company.
Line by Line Meaning
It's the wrong time, and the wrong place
The current situation is not ideal or appropriate for us to be together
Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face
Although I find your face attractive, it is not the face of the person I truly desire
It's not her face, but such a charming face
Your face is not the one I am searching for, but it is still alluring and captivating
That it's all right with me
I am willing to overlook this discrepancy and still enjoy your company
It's the wrong song, in the wrong style
The music and genre we are listening to do not fit my personal preferences
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
Your smile is beautiful, but it does not quite match the smile of the person I am hoping to be with
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
I am actively trying to move on from a past love interest
Don't you want to forget someone, too?
I am curious if you are also trying to forget someone from your past
It's the wrong game, with the wrong chips
The dynamic and circumstances of our relationship do not align with what I typically seek
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
I am tempted by your lips, but they do not belong to the person I am longing for
That, if some night, you are free
If there comes a time when you are available and willing
Then it's all right, yes, it's all right with me
I am open to exploring a potential romance with you despite the various mismatches that exist between us
