Uneasy Hearts Weigh The Most
Dance Gavin Dance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To feel her touch
It's almost impossible to hold still
Maybe we can go back to the way it was
Well at least let me love you the same

I got lies to tell your children
When my smile pierces through your bones
Right through your bones
(Through your bones)
The grass is green inside my yard
I can make you laugh so fucking hard it hurts you
Inside your bones
(Inside your bones)

She talks, I listen, she's in the shower and her skin glistens
Like oh my god I like it
Like oh oh god I like it

I suggest a drive, lets take the back road
Lets get lost lets lose our minds
Hey, little girl, I think we found it tonight
I think we glow that fucking bright, oh
And when she laughs I like it
Like "oh ha ha ha ha ha"

I got lies to tell your children
When my smile pierces through your bones
Right through your bones
(Through your bones)
The grass is green inside my yard
I can make make you laugh so fucking hard it hurts you
Inside your bones
(Inside your bones)

"Holy shit she smells like heaven
Been best friends since we were eleven
And oh my god I like her"
"Yeah, I heard you like her
Baby, I thought that we had something
Compared to him I'm next to nothing
Oh my god I like her"
"Yeah I heard you like her"

I am a million fucking bucks
I am a thousand fucking bucks
Your bitch is dead she was hit by a truck
What the fuck!

"Holy shit she smells like heaven
Been best friends since we were eleven
And oh my god I like her.."
"Yeah, I heard you like her...
Baby, I thought that we had something
Compared to him I'm next to nothing




Oh my god I like her"
"Yeah I heard you like her"

My wife played this song on her phone when we were 15. We are almost 30 now and I know I like her.

@christophernazario2375

Underrated AF. Truly beautiful

@er7198

Glenn Flanagan 😭

@bartomiej3389

isn't being 26 almost 30?

@bartomiej3389

is the difference in age between 6 and 10 year old the same than with 26 and 30?

humans don't perceive aging linearly, but rather logarythmically, so 4 years gap has way different meaning for young children and for grown adults

don't be stupid

@UnorganizedWaffle

Yeah I heard you like her.

I saw DGD live a few days ago. They had Kurt Travis, Jonny Craig and Tilian Pearson on stage with the band. Each singer took turns to sing different parts. It was pretty great, I won't lie.

@TanisAnnicchiarico

Was that the reunion show?

@DrugzRKoool

Damn straight, the 10 year anniversary

@val5740

I was at the one in Philly, it was like an orgasm for my ears.
