Well, joke me something awful, just like kisses on the necks of best friends.
We're the kids who feel like dead ends.
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses.
I took a shot and didn't even come close.
At trust and love and hope.
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it,
And never had it at all.

And the record won't stop skipping.
And the lies just won't stop slipping.
And besides my reputations on the line.
We can fake it for the airwaves.
Force our smiles, baby, half dead,
From comparing myself to everyone else around me.

Please put the doctor on the phone, because I'm not making any sense.

Blame everyone but me for this mess.
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart.
We never seemed so far.
I'm hopelessly hopeful. You're just hopeless enough.
But we never had it at all.

And the record won't stop skipping.
And the lies just won't stop slipping.
And besides my reputations on the line.
We can fake it for the airwaves.
Force our smiles, baby, half dead.
From comparing myself to everyone else around me.

To everyone else around me.
Everyone else around me.
Everyone else around me.

12 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i dont mean to hate, but stephysteph, u pretty much suck at life. first of all, how can you say you love fob, when u dont even know their names??!! and Patrick's voice makes 99% of a Fall Out Boy song. ask anyone. pretty much: Patrick AND his voice > your life. beat that sucka' foo'. this song is my absolute favorite.
