Fall at boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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
I 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

Overall Meaning

“Dance, dance” by Fall Out Boy is a song that talks about a person who struggles with expressing their emotions, and so they resort to writing them down. The singer of the song is in a romantic situation with someone who feels the same about them. However, they both struggle to express their feelings, which leads to misunderstandings and regret.


The first verse of the song starts with the singer saying that their partner is not good with words, but they themselves are even worse. They struggle to express their feelings, and their stuttering only leads to a failed attempt at romanticism. They feel weighed down by their emotions, and things can't get much worse. They don't want anyone to feel like they do.


The chorus talks about falling apart to halftime and how these are the lives they love to lead. It also talks about how if people knew how much misery loved them, this would be the way they would love. The second verse talks about how the partner always folds before they are found out, and how they resort to drinking as a last resort. The singer confesses their feelings in the same way as before, through writing.


The bridge of the song is a plea to their partner to show them a little bit of spine and to save it for them instead of someone else. The chorus repeats until the end of the song, emphasizing the importance of the dance.

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
