Song 1: “Dance, Dance” By: Fall Out Boy

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 over-dramatic

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 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

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 its 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

Song 2: “The Phoenix” By: Fall Out Boy

Put on your war paint

You are a brick
