  • 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
    So you 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

  • Patricus Rexus from NoybTiming is pretty sharp. This band has some rhythm. Wish they would have went further down this path versus some of the stuff off their last album which was an attempt to fill the void left by one direction or something.
  • Isadora from Tramandaí, BrazilLol "hot lamb"? "don't know how your voice is"? You guys are so creative.
  • Megan from Stevenson, AlI got a buddy who is sooo talented on the drums and he plays this at band for me. I love this!!!
  • Jeremiah Westbrook from Lo Angeles, CaThis is about how these kids are misreable hence "miserey loves me" thats why they try to cover it up by apparently danceing los angelesfor life and misery really loves me
  • Emily from Baltimore, Mdhot lamb? really?
  • Ross from Marto, MiIt's "I'm two quarters and a heart down" not hot lamb. This song rocks.
  • Reilly from Arlington, TxI'm two quarters and a hot lamb and i dont how your voice is
