  • dead on arrival.
    • this is side one, flip me over, i know i'm not your favorite record. the songs we grow to like never stick at first, i'm writing you a chorus and here is your verse.
  • grand theft autumn (where is your boy?).
    • i could be an accident, but i'm still trying and that's more than i can say for him.
    • and maybe he won't find out what i know, you were the last good thing about this part of town.
  • saturday.

    • you want apologies, girl you might hold your breath, until your breathing stops forever, forever, the only thing you'll get is this curse on your lips, i hope they taste of me forever, forever.
    • with every breath i wish your body would be broken again, again.
    • loaded words and loaded friends are loaded guns to our heads.
  • the pros and cons of breathing.

  • grenade jumper.
    • my heart ticks in beat with these kids that i grew up with, living like life's going out of style.
  • the patron saint of liars and fakes.
    • and when it all goes to hell will you be able to tell me you're sorry with a straight face?

    • i can't wake up to these reminders of who i am, a failure at everything, eighteen going on extinct.
  • calm before the storm.
    • like legs and fingers holding onto what escapes me; what he has, a better kiss that never lasts.
    • i sat outside my front window, this story's going somewhere, "he's well hung" and i am hanging up.

  • our lawyers made us change the name of this song so we wouldn't get sued.
    • we're only liars but we're the best.
  • of all the gin joints in the world.
    • turn off the lights and turn off the shyness cause all of our moves make up for the shyness, and oh, the way your make up stains my pillowcase like i'll never be the same.
    • i used to waste my time dreaming of being alive now i only waste it dreaming of you.
  • dance, dance.
    • why don't you show me the little bit of spine you've been saving for his mattress, love. i only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me.
  • sugar we're going down.
    • don't mind me, i'm watching you two from the closet, wishing to be the friction in your jeans. isn't it messed up how i'm just dying to be him?
    • drop a heart, break a name, we're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team.
  • nobody puts baby in the corner.
    • i keep my jealousy close cause it's all mine.
    • keep quiet, nothing comes as easy as you, can i lay in your bed all day? i'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake, the hand behind this pen relieves a failure everyday.
    • so wear me like a locket around your throat, i'll weigh you down, i'll watch you choke, you look so good in blue, you look so good in blue.
  • 7 minutes in heaven (atavan heaven)
    • i'm sleeping my way out of this one with anyone who'll lie down. i'll be stuck fixated on one star when the world is crashing down.
    • sitting out dances on the wall, trying to forget everything that isn't you, i'm not going home alone cause i don't do to well on my own.
  • sophomore slump or comeback of the year.
    • are we growing up or just going down it's just a matter of time until we're all found out, take your tears, put em on ice cause i swear i'd burn this city down to show you the light.
    • the best part of believe is a lie.
    • we're the therapists pumping through your speakers delivering just what you need.
    • there's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up and there's another around to help us bend your trust, i've got a sunset in my veins and i need to take a pill to make this town feel okay.
  • i've got a dark alley and a bad feeling that says you should shut your mouth (summer song).
    • joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends", we're the kids who feel like dead ends.
    • and the record won't stop skipping and the lies just won't stop slipping and besides my reputations on the line.
    • please put the doctor on the phone cause i'm not making any sense, blame everyone but me for this mess. and my back has been breaking from this heavy heart, we've never seemed so far. i'm hopelessly hopeful, you're just hopeless enough.
    • and poets are just kids who didn't make it.
  • champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends.
    • we drown traitors in shallow water.
    • with your backless black dress soaked to the skin, when it's said and done, they're all scrambling.
  • i slept with someone in fall out boy and all i got was this stupid song written about me.
    • i'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends and i am sorry my conscience called in sick again, i've got arrogance down to a science.
    • so douse yourself in cheap perfume it's so fitting, so fitting of the way you are, you can't cover it up.
    • find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips, i'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped back to your family cause i know you will be missed.
    • someone old, no one new, feeling borrowed, always blue.
  • a little less sixteen candles, a little more touch me.
    • i'm sleeping on your folk's porch again dreaming, she said, she said, she said, "why don't you just drop dead?"
    • i don't blame you for being you, but you can't blame me for hating it.
    • you can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights, get all the sighs and the moans just right.
    • write me off, give up on me cause, darling, what did you expect? i'm just off, a lost cause, a long shot, don't even take this bet.
  • xo.
    • i comb the crowd and pick you out, my mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out, it starts eyes closed to fingers crossed to "i swear i say, i swear i say".
    • to hands between legs to whatever it takes to drinks at the club to the bar to the keys to your car to hotel stairs, to the emergency exit door.
    • i hope you choked and crashed your car. hey tear catcher, that's all that you are.
    • to the love, i left my conscience pressed between the pages of the bible in the drawer, what did it ever do for me i say. it never calls me when i'm down, choose love or sympathy, but never both, no.
  • get busy living or get busy dying (do your part to save the scene and stop going to shows).
    • if you are the shores, i am the waves begging for big moons. i'm mailing letters to addresses in a ghost town, your secrets out.
    • i know this hurts, it was meant to, it was meant to. your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one and it's mind over you don't, don't matter.
    • i used to obsess over living, now i only obsess over you, tell me you'd like boys like me better, in the dark lying on top of you.
    • this has been said so many times that i'm not sure if it matters, but it must be said again that all us boys are just screaming into microphones for attention because we're just so bored.
    • we never knew that you would pick it apart, oh, i'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts.

this is an undertaking of the greatest degree. i'll do the other two albums later.
