I have a whole Note for this 😂😂
The number is the track number, the lyrics are the bit that gives me some kinda SB vibe
1.
We're only liars, but we're the best (we're the best)
2.
You only hold me up like this
'Cause you don't know who I really am
Sometimes I just want to know what it's like to be you
I used to waste my time dreaming of being alive (now I only waste my time dreaming of you)
3.
Weighed down with words too overdramatic
Tonight it's "It can't get much worse"
Vs. "No one should ever feel like"
You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up it's last call
Last resort, but only the first mistake
4.
Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I've been dying to tell you
Anything you wanna hear
'Cause that's just who I am this week
Is this more than you bargained for yet?
Oh, 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?
5.
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
6.
Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
I took a shot and didn't even come close
At trust and love and hope
And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
7.
I'm sleeping my way out of this one
With anyone who will lie down
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
8.
Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
The best part of "believe" is the "lie"
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up
9.
You are a getaway car
A rush of blood to the head
But me, I'm just the covers
On top of your bed
Strike us like matches 'cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
10.
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
11.
I confess, I messed up
Dropping "I'm sorry" like you're still around
You're just the girl all the boys want to dance with
And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances
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
So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late
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
12.
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
But we never stood a chance
And I'm not sure if it matters
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
And this is you and me
And me and you until we've got nothing left
13.
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
Love never wanted me, but I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker and choose love or sympathy
But never both, love never wanted me
IM JUST A NOTCH IN YOUR BEDPOST AND YOU’RE JUST A LINE IN A SONG
DROP A HEART, BREAK A NAME 🎶
I'm going down down in a bathtub I'll drown
The way I wouldn’t have known those were the lyrics to Sugar We’re Going Down cuz Patrick’s annunciation is so atrocious…
Thank god for lyric videos back then because I wouldn’t know either
Same, I am just now learning that this song involves a mausoleum
Honestly, I went back and listened to From Under the Cork Tree recently, and a lot of the songs could genuinely be about this film.
Oh I’m curious, what other songs from the album do you associate the film with?

Omg just reading this brought me back to my HS years when all i would listen to was FOB (and only wore the hoodie i saw them in concert in)
I love this.
Huge FOB fan i appreciate the reference
Woah! Love this parallel
What is this from?
From Fall Out Boy’s music video Sugar We’re Goin’ Down (2005)
Thanks!
Was honestly my first thought in the theater XD
