[Verse 1]
She said she's no good
With words but I'm worse
Barely stutter out a joke
And a romantic stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too overdramatic
Tonight it's "it can't much worse"
Vs "no one should ever feel like..."

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't wanna forget how your voice sounds
And these words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need then just to get by
We will own your thoughts
We'll own the song stuck in your head
We'll leave you kicking and screaming
So you can thank us in the end

[Chorus]
Dance, dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
This, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

[Post-Chorus]
I only want sympathy in the form of you
Crawling into bed with me, crawling into bed with me

[Verse 2]
You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up it's last call, last resort
But only my first mistake and I

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't wanna forget how your voice sounds
And these words are all i have so ill write them
So you need then just to get by

[Bridge 1]
Why don't you show me just a little bit of spine?
You've been saving for his mattress, love

[Chorus]
Dance, dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
This, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

[Bridge 2]
Why don't you show me little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

[Outro]
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band hailing from Wilmette, Illinois. The band was formed in 2001 by Pete Wentz, who supplies bass and lyrics to the band, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who both used to be part of metalcore band Arma Angelus. Trohman later recruited vocalist Patrick Stump, who initially tried out as the band’s drummer, after meeting him in a bookstore. After the release of Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket. It was recorded without current drummer Andy Hurley due to him being disinterested in the project; Hurley later joined in 2003 as a replacement touring drummer.

Fueled By Ramen, who were a small independent label at the time, personally called Fall Out Boy to ask them to record a full-length record after hearing one of their demos online. This album became their 2003 debut, Take This To Your Grave, and was a tipping point between the band’s underground success to success in the mainstream. It was the band’s last album to feature Stump as the lead lyricist.

The band’s 2004 acoustic EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, became their first charting release and gave fans a taste of what to expect on their sophomore album From Under The Cork Tree. The album creation was set back in February 2005 after Wentz’s suicide attempt, which influenced songs such as “7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).” The album was released in May 2005 through Island Records, featuring guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
