Fall Out Boy lyrics
Album: Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girl [2002]
| Honorable Mention | |
|
I served out my detention
And in the end I got an honorable mention
In the movie of my life, starring you
Instead of me
When the moonlight, hits your bright eyes I go blind
And maybe next time
I'll remember not to tell you something stupid like I'll never leave your side
Like the oldest movie I ever saw was the one we wrote together
I said I hate you but I'd never change a thing
I can be your john cusack
I burnt out
My defensive
Now everything I say is taken as offensive

| Calm Before the Storm | |
|
Sat outside my front window
This story's going somewhere
He's well hung and I am hanging up
Well theres a song on the radio that says
Let's get this party started, let's get this party started
What you do on you own time's just fine
My imagination's much worse than I ever wanted to know
And what meant the world implodeded... inflated then demoted all my oxygen to product gas and suffocated my last chance
You said between your smiles and regrets
Dont say it's over
Dead and gone calm before the storm
Set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight
Reception less than warm
Set it off and the sun burnt out tonight
The next time the phone can wring my neck it gets no answer
And of the time that I've spent telling it my roots
I'm shaking in my boots
And still it looks at me like an old friend I've betrayed
The darkside of the doormat is the one your shoes have frayed
The sun burnt out tonight

| Switchblades and Infidelity | |
|
Walking out on the show was walking out on you
And walking out on you was the best thing that I ever did.
Last night I saw my world explode.
Well, I'm looking out at you obscured by the stand up arcade
And the sound of the descendents.
Your smile reminds me of swtichblades and infidelity.
Last night I saw my world explode.

Walking off that stage tonight
I know what you're thinking
And he stands alone, because he's high on himself
But if you only knew...
I was terrified and would you mind if I sat next to you and watched you smile
So many kids but I only see you
And I don't think you notice me
Well I've seen your boyfriend and I don't think he treats you right, but thats none of my business is it?
I'm not the way you think I am
The only girl who ever gave me the time was the one who only wanted five minutes of mine
Knocking boots in the back, how degrading is that?
I decline.

I dried my eyes, now I crust them with sleep
Ill crust them over
She begged me don't hate me
She spun me a story
Where winning looks like loosing
And I'm winning every time
So thread spools sweetie, get ready
Until my silk is sold
Growing up
Growing up
Growing up
Yeah
Ill myself a new
Yeah
Ill myself a new
Ive dried my eyes, now it's rushmore
Im deep with futures like chicago
Glenview never meant a thing to me
She never meant a thing to me
Except for putting idealists in a body bag
Forget it
Ill go out tonight to piss on her doorstep
And listen to the misfits where eagels dare to swallow whole
Up
Growing up
Growing up
Go!
Whoa-oh-oh
I guess I'm my own better half
Whoa-oh-oh
I guess I'm my own better half
Whoa, oh
I guess I'm on my own
Yeah, yeah
I guess I'm on my own
Yeah
I guess I'm on my own
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I guess I'm on my own

She's shallow like the shoreline durning low tide
but my hopes are not quite as high
cant spot her faults but she spotted mine
she left me for herself
considering i would too
go figure, i'm bigger than that
the battles only halfway done
i might look young
but i'm no less defeated
how's the weather up there?
good God i wish i was tall

Last night I saw a movie
And I thought about many movies I've seen at your house
Excuse me if I'm rude
But I'd rather that we just strike from the record ones I'd see again without you
Leaning on my shoulder
Distracting me from the plotline
Where can I go when I want you around
But I cant stand to be around you
Go home
Ill walk myself to you
Ill walk myself away from here
Go to hell is all I thought for seven weeks
But I grew out of that phase looking at these broken photographs of people
Looking glossed just like a summer ago
Where can I go when I want you around
But I cant stand to be around you
Go home
Ill walk myself to you
Ill walk myself away from here
Call me back I'm pleading with a cork in my head
It wouldnt be the first time
My pillow has been mistaken
Where can I go when I want you around
But I cant stand to be around you
Go home
Ill walk myself to you
Ill walk myself away from here
Cant stand to be around you
Around you, around you
Cant stand to be around you
Cant stand, I cant stand
To be around you
Around you
Around you
Around you
Around you...

| Parker Lewis Can't Lose (But I'm Gonna Give It My Best Shot) | |
|
You laughed at my affections while I passed by your direction
I should have known from your walk
It was the end of you
Its not that I don't respect your opinion
Your quick with lips just rip me apart
Sometimes like this I've got a big mouth and maybe you can handle shutting it up
A simple contradiction could shake my whole foundation
I'm taking back every step towards you
Still failing at everything I do
In the meantime just talking to my shoes
Converse with my converse
At least they hear a word I say
And scrutinize it just as far as they can tell what I'm getting at
You've twisted my tongue around my neck for the last time
But parker lewis can't lose
I'll spend my life trying to figure this all out byt this is the last song about you
The last song I waste on you
