I love this song and also the Idea of this song. My take to this song is about the friendship between Patrick and Pete and the rest of the band. Patrick left the band for almost 4 years before that Pete was leading the band in the media, interviews, and also in controlling the crowd, while Patrick had some issues with self confidence interacting with others as we all know him as a shy type of person and very polite.When he became more mature, Patrick realize that he needed to be credited more than Pete because he is the star of the band. Tried to take control but Pete wont let down for him before. We all know Pete was controlling the band before and also in lyrics, but Patrick then wanted now to sing his words somehow. He left the band, and created his own songs, as he said in the spotlight o nostalgia - lyrics like" they might try to tell you how to live it right, but dont forget it's your right to do whatever you like" "you can be your own spotlight" He wanted to take control and he does have the right because he is the singer the vocalist, the star and should have been credited and receive more attention than Pete. So he left the fob. But he chose to go back into FOB - "I'll trade all my tomorrows - - (his own future doing solo- as his own spotlight )"for just one yesterday" - getting back to FOB. The line - "I want to teach you a lesson in a worst kind of way" - probably for Pete, the rest of fall out boy, their fans, (Patrick also said in the interview that he left FOB because of fans who turned out as haters during their foliex something album) - he was like saying I can leave fall out boy, I'll teach you a lesson, I can be my own spotlight, I dont need you Pete like a boss, i can put my own lyrics, I can make my own songs, and I will take all the credit for my crafts. -- and Pete learned that he cant run a show without Patrick, yes somehow he was like nothing during their hiatus while Patrick was still able to be like a star with his own songs. -- but regardless - he said "still I'll trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday" -- STILL Patrick will trade his own future as a solo artist - regardless of the fact that he could still able to run shows, to live, with his own songs without FOB -- but he was willing to trade it to get back again as frontman/VOCALIST of FOB. -- The line "find yourself a new gig, this town aint big for the two of us" Patrick was like saying this for Pete or the rest of FOB, like I will have my own gig, and find your own gig- I could think that he was like saying for Pete, like find yourself a new gig without me, I will seperate from you. See how kind Patrick is, he dont have the right looks or name but he have twice the heart, he still love Pete, his band, FOB, and fans. so he reunited with FOB.
