Song lyrics
Coming out of my cage 
And I've been doin' just fine 
Gotta gotta be down 
Because I want it all 
It started out with a kiss 
How did it end up like this? 
It was only a kiss 
It was only a kiss 

Now I'm falling asleep 
And she's calling a cab 
While he's having a smoke 
And she's taking a drag 

Now they're going to bed 
And my stomach is sick 
And it's all in my head 
But she's touching his chest now 
He takes off her dress now 
Let me go 

And I just can't look 
It's killing me 
And taking control 

Jealousy 
Turning saints into the sea 
Swimming through sick lullabies 
Choking on your alibis 
But it's just the price I pay 
Destiny is calling me 
Open up my eager eyes 
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside 

I'm coming out of my cage 
And I've been doin' just fine 
Gotta gotta be down 
Because I want it all 
It started out with a kiss 
How did it end up like this? 
It was only a kiss 
It was only a kiss 

Now I'm falling asleep 
And she's calling a cab 
While he's having a smoke 
And she's taking a drag 

Now they're going to bed 
And my stomach is sick 
And it's all in my head 
But she's touching his chest now 
He takes off her dress now 
Let me go 

'Cause I just can't look 
It's killing me 
And taking control 

Jealousy 
Turning saints into the sea 
Swimming through sick lullabies 
Choking on your alibis 
But it's just the price I pay 
Destiny is calling me 
Open up my eager eyes 
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside 

I never 
I never 
I never 
I never

this song is so brillant! but sad... I just took it as meaning... its his curse he always looks on the brightside of things so he didn't think she would cheat on him and then be with this other man... but idk just what I was pondering.. groove on mates

This is Indie like momma used to make. Get it off the radio, all the pop-wannabe's are ruining it.

I'd probably agree with an earlier comment about title being an idea of the guy having to look or needing to look on the 'brightside' of life.or even in a kind of ironic/ sarcastic tone.I also like the idea that it's not just about someone whose g/f has cheated on them but maybe simply that he's jealous and paranoid.'it's all in my head'n e waysss lol fantastic song and brilliant album!!

"Believe me Natalie" is a great song. I don't know how no one likes it. My name is Natalie, though. Maybe that's why I like it?

*Jealousy

I definitely think he's just paranoid... and to love her it's the price he'll pay... to be jealous.

anyway.. random post. good song. good album.
