Dance Gavin Dance - The Backwards Pumpkin Song Lyrics






[x2]
Sit down, call off the cavalry
I’m stealing the jewels
In a slow motion action replay
Bar fight, I invented chivalry
Notch in my bed post
Slow motion action replay

Now the fog is rolling in
Bringing us that much closer to a senseless end
Oh, please don't get up, I’ll get that for you
It’s selfish to say I believe when
I believe all these lines and long enough

[x2]
(Don't just lay on the ground son)
(Don't just drown in the fountain)
And I don't know you
I don’t know you
[x2]
(You got stuck preaching action)
(I fell down using tact son)
And I don't know you
I don’t know you

[Chorus:]
Bring back this fight tonight
All of these lies that I uphold (Don’t mind them they can’t elope)
For one good note (Leave them off of the great boat)
Bring back this fight tonight
All of these lies that I uphold (Don’t mind them they can’t elope)
For one false hope (Leave them off of the great boat)

One false hope

Go on and fix your tie
And just lead the line out
Needless to say I stumble, you play all night long
[x8]
Fix your tie and just lead the line out
Needless to say

[Chorus]

[x4]
Now you'll find, as I rewind
Now you'll find it’s not the point

One Love

  16. J.... _....

    2:20 AHAHHH MAN SO GOOD

  17. J.... M....

    If you're here listening to this thinking to yourself "I remember when I used to be a Scene/Emo Kid" You're still one, it's not something you can just renounce.

  18. J.... M....

    Reminds me of that Scene Boy I had a Crush on in High School.

  19. T.... ....

    Jonny Craig and Tyler Carter sound SO similar it's unreal

  20. J.... L....

    Oh please don’t get up ... I’ll get that for you.

  21. N.... J....

    Man I will never forget being able to see them when Kurt was in the band it was one of my favorite shows. That was like 8 or 9 years ago

  22. L.... S....

    Escucho esta canción desde que tengo 16, ahora tengo 25 y sigue siendo la mejor de todas!! Simplemente perfecta 😱😱

  23. S.... S....

    My first DGD song

    Slow motion action replay

  32. R.... Y....

    January 2018 still listening since I was scene 😂😂😂😂😂😂👌👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  33. F.... B....

    We had a music appreciation class in my highschool. I played this song for the class one day and even our teacher was impressed. It was a cool moment in my life that I owe to this song.

  34. G.... L....

    Ahhh good old MySpace days still jammin 8 yrs later

  35. M.... P....

    Still here in 2017

  36. K.... H....

  37. A.... D....

    @2:43 trying not to move your head is impossible.

  38. M.... M....

    Bro Matt Mingus on drums is RIDICULOUS.

  39. C.... R....

    This was posted 2010. Still listening in 2017 <3

  40. B.... S....

    Will swan on this song omg

  41. S.... B....

    forever pissed that I saw them live with Tilian and not Jonny

  42. c.... b....

    been listening to dgd for about six years and still prefer the old stuff. aggravated that they never got recognition until tillian took Jonny's place. Jonny has a far better voice. 🙄 still proud of my babes for trending recently.

    c.... b....

    disliked for sure, I respect all dgd and have been a fan from the start but I think tillian has more range than jonny craig. craigs songs start to all sound the same. Kurt is still #1 though

  43. S.... R....

    nostalgic.

  44. M.... S....

    I was fifteen years old when I was dragged to a show and these guys played there first album Downtown Battle Mountain (2005–07).Will Swan shredded my brain off and i'm sure was craig owens was drooling off some good opiates though. A1.

  45. j.... t....

    Good shit

  46. Z.... X....

    The beginning HOLY FUCK Jon Mess killing it! <3

  47. s.... ....

    jonny Craig is the shit

  48. F.... ....

    this was one of the first bands i found on my own n i love them soo much all their work is so good
    i just hope i get to see them live with johny before the world ends!

  49. M.... D....

    alllll the nostalgic feels....

  50. T.... ....

    d pics of ur albums makes me feel like i need som drush m8 fu
    1v1?

  51. K.... ....

    Most Underrated DGD In my opinion

  52. J.... p....

    sick intro!!!

  53. E.... P....

    Master piece

  54. R.... ....

    Keep it old school baby. yeeaah buddy

    R.... ....

    RoBoTwItHuMaNhAiR ur either drunk or high

    R.... ....

    hella Republican the fuck are you talking about? You’re clearly a newfag. Fuck off back to whatever pop trash you came from

  55. A.... ....

    Wishing i could go back to the good ole days.... damn good song

  56. M.... M....

    very first song I ever heard from them and fell in love

    M.... M....

    Mell Myers Same here.

    M.... M....

    M.... M....

    holy shit, me too. I was late to the party... 2015.

    M.... M....

    Dude me too! Friend made a mix disc and said “any band you like on here I can get you other albums” and this was one of the first YES PLEASE tracks!

  57. T.... C....

    nostalgic of sophomore year all over

  58. C.... S....

    time traveled and now I'm on MySpace

    C.... S....

    Congrats Colleen Spuzzillo... you just tripped and fell into a pool of W's

    C.... S....

    u look like andross from star fox but u still bad

  59. c.... ....

    What is screamed in between the last chorus and "Now you'll find as I rewind?"

    c.... ....

    It sounds like a bunch of recordings on top of each other.

    c.... ....

    I still can’t find those lyrics anywhere.

  60. C.... S....

    Nikpmup ftw

  61. t.... ....

    scene and not herd.

  62. E.... F....

    I'm planning to make a music video for this song for my final project in one of my subjects, sadly most of my classmates does not like to listen to this genre.

    E.... F....

    They can get the fuck over it. This shit's great!

    E.... F....

    It's your subject so who cares. Dan, don't forget opinions exist.

  63. L.... E....

    still one of my favorite songs

  64. G.... R....

    bring back to my emo/scene days in middle school.

  65. j.... ....

    holy shit that drum part fucking kills me every time

  66. m.... x....

    My myspace song when I was scene

    m.... x....

    This band was hella scene. If you disagree, I don't think you're old enough to even talk about who and what was scene.

    m.... x....

    i.... r....

    +roger laggia Johnny's voice litterally kills me, he is my favorite singer so far.

  68. D.... ....

    2007.

    damn... this band sounds amazing with all the different vocalist

  80. Z.... ....

    I've always loved how this song just starts off rocking out🤘🏻

  81. x.... ....

    a.k.a - The Inside-Out Gourd Ballad

    x.... ....

    @Dillan Jiggles You win. :)

    x.... ....

    Wtf did I just read lol

    x.... ....

    The Bizarro Thanksgiving Pie Guts Holder Melody

    x.... ....

    I know this is old, but this has gotta' be some of the best comments I've ever fucking read on a DGD video lmao.

    x.... ....

    I hate you so much....

  82. j.... p....

    this song live, is so fucking intense

  83. l.... ....

    johnnys voice is so pretty im gonna die

  84. E.... V....

    (Leave them off the great *big boat)

  85. c.... m....

    This gets me soooo amped in the gym.

    c.... m....

    Dgd at the gym is a great choice

  86. U.... G....

    This Man has the most beautiful voice that i have ever heard. It's a shame that they don't get anywhere near as much recognition as they deserve.

    U.... G....

    What? They're like the most popular post hardcore band in existence! And Emarosa and Slaves (Johnny's other bans) are really well known as well.

    U.... G....

    Dude ever since Tillian came a long they've been making it on the top 12 charts and they've have their songs almost number 1 on youtube.

    U.... G....

    Years later... lol

    U.... G....

    @Connor Martinez completely different band w Jonny, and I think he's referring to the album's with him in it. Def seems to be underrated/overlooked. So friggin good... marvel at the Downtown album's to this day. Incredible

    U.... G....

    @Sean Ballard Oh yeah now that I re read OP's comment I think I agree with you

  87. S.... B....

    *<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 **0:25**-**2:16** \m/ **2:57**-**3:18** \m/ <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3*

  88. C.... S....

    jonny craig tho holee crep

  89. l.... ....

    O man forgot about this song. Big throwback!

  90. O.... ....

    I've been wanting to see them since I was in freaking 7th grade. And they came to my city twice and I missed them when they came in March -_-

  91. _.... ....

    Favorite album by them.

  92. D.... B....

    Nothing compares to Jonny, but hey, we all have to move on. 

    D.... B....

    I can very well name quite a few.

    D.... B....

    @Dahsy Ekeap THen name them

  93. G.... B....

    This DGD was more emotional imo, I dig every album, but this in particular es the most intense, I love it

    G.... B....

    For me, the most emotional album is definitely Death Star. The instrumentals just... I can barely explain it. The instrumentals themselves make me feel and think about a lot of stuff, to put it lightly. It's beautiful.

    G.... B....

    David Pottinger For me the most emotional album is happiness its so fucking emotional

    G.... B....

    German Brito nah Kurt brought the emo, this just sounded more linkin park ish

  94. R.... D....

    This song is part of me

  95. B.... w....

    this bands reminds me of a better version of alesana for some reason idk

    B.... w....

    pretty spot on

  96. n.... ....

    So I'm sitting very confused as to why is this band isn't more famous than talentless scums in the magazines these days

    n.... ....

    they suck now so i wish they did not get famous

    n.... ....

    chris Marshal I'm glad they're not, they'red be a lot of normies and posers

    n.... ....

    Dgd is huge bro even to this day, they have their own festival ffs

    n.... ....

    @Eric of COURSE they got big because of Johnny, what are you smoking? The fact that hes a shitty human being doesnt change that

    n.... ....

    realest realist sorry for the 9 months later thing, but their festival is called swanfest. after the lead guitarist, will swan, who is DGD’s backbone and one of the most talented guitarists ... well, ever, probably. the vocalists may have helped but DGD would not be successful without the efforts and brilliance of will swan.
