Lyrics

Dance, 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 Dance, dance Dance, dance Dance, dance
