Dance Gavin Dance - It's Safe to Say You Dig the Backseat

iTUNES: smarturl.it/dgd...
MERCH: riserecords.mer...
[x2]
I threw her away on the second we met
I couldn't have lied, I tried
I was cashing a check
(The ink was smeared)
(The lines were drawn and scribbled unclear)
(A cancellation, it's time to learn to fly)
Now that I've decided that you can't be
Now that I've decided that you can't be trusted
Now that I've decided that you can't be
Now that I've decided that you can't be trusted
Now that I've decided that you can't be
Now that I've decided that you can't be
One by one (Wasn't that fun)
This party dies (Fade away)
Late night phone calls that end in surprise
I can't believe you would give up your dignity (Fade away)
Just to take a ride with me
And how does it feel to be used
Climb in the back seat
Like luggage
[x2]
Whores don't trip
They bleed on the tapestry
Whores don't trip
They bleed at the bar
It's your persistence that makes me sick
It's not the sight of your face
And now I am so faint, caught up in just this way
I know that you can be more than this
This wasn't what I wanted
You said I sewed that dream alive
Climb farther into hate, is it this back seat making you itch?
Morals become something from a dream
This isn't the way to blow off steam
It's all in your head
Give up this is making me sick
My patience is wearing thin
I will be leaving you now stay away for long
Drag his body down to the mill (Stationed wit, I believe will go there)
Cut the ice with counterfeit bills
I'll take my share (Stationed wit, I believe will go there)
Like lightning bolts that strike down in pairs (Stationed wit, I believe will go there)
This is all justified
This is all justified (Stationed wit, I believe will go there)
Step aside and watched the lie
This is all justified (Stationed wit, I believe will go there)
This is all justified (Stationed wit, I believe will go there)
Won't heal in time (Stationed wit, I believe will go there)
This is all justified now
Now we're all afraid to see why we can't give it up
But now your shirt comes off
I need something more tonight than your word

So much so, that Rise let Will and Matt record a second DTBM with Jonny, even after his MacBook scandal, as a part of Emarosa, who was also under Rise at the time... 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@DWaltzz843]

jonny was a phenomenon in his own during this album and ep before, but damn Swan and the rhythm section of this band are the secret sauce. simply brilliant musicians to break out with this genre of sound. this song is unlike most the other songs on the album, has a beautiful ambiance to match the idea behind the rest of the theme. love it

[@3kingspowerlifting119]

Couldn’t have said it better

[@C.M.M.23]

3:52 If that's not some Circa Survive Juturna shit that Anthony Green should be singing over with Mess, I don't know what is. Can you imagine a DGD era where Anthony Green is doing cleans? I have no doubt that that would be one of my top 3 favorite albums.

Yeah same been listening for 12 years. Sucks because they used to be my favorite band but their sound is completely different now. Just not a fan of tilian’s voice and nobody agrees with me. Everything up to downtown battle mountain 2 was 🔥🔥 tho

[@mackenzieheiser]

He's voice && the instrumentals gives me goose bumps EVERY TIME!!

[@cmillertime7477]

Honestly this is some of the most perfect music created, regardless of genre. I feel like if I attempted to go into more detail I would simply be offensive to the incredible talent that went into the creation of this song, from any of the members. So I will simply say that I will be listening to this song for the rest of my life, even though I first heard it when I was like 17. It's that good. It sticks. It's good. And thank you for creating it.

[@TomA-zx5bv]

So we’ll said. I’m 27 now and I’ve been listening for over 10 years. Still the best song ever

God, 1:04-1:07 is one of my favorite parts from any DGD song ever. His voice... theres just so much reckless abandon, its beautiful...

[@juggalotiffany]

Everyone says that Jonny Craig doesn't make the band, and he doesn't, but he does make a major impact. When I hear DGD with the other singers it doesn't caress my soul the way this does.
