Your lipstick, his collar
Don't bother, angel
I know exactly what goes on
When everything you'll get is everything that you've wanted, princess
(Well, which would you prefer?)
My finger on the trigger, or
(Me face down, down across your floor?)
Me face down, dead across your floor
(Me face down, down across your floor)
Well, just so long as this thing's loaded
And will you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head?
This all was only wishful thinking
This all was only wishful thinking
And will you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head?
This all was only wishful thinking
This all was only wishful thinking
Let's go
Don't bother trying to explain, angel
I know exactly what goes on when you're on, and
How 'bout I'm outside of your window?
(Well, how 'bout I'm outside of your window)
Watching him keep the details covered
You're such a sucker for a sweet talker, yeah
(You're such a sucker)
And will you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head?
This all was only wishful thinking
This all was only wishful thinking
And will you tell all your friends (The only thing)
You've got your gun to my head? (I regret)
This all was only wishful thinking (Is that I)
This all was only wishful thinking (I never let you hold me back)
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you'll never love me
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens (Why can't I feel anything)
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me (From anyone other than you?)
I know you well enough to know you'll never love me
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens (Why can't I feel anything)
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me (From anyone other than you?)
I know you well enough to know
And all of this was all your fault
And all of this
(It makes things worse)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this
For this simple reason I
Just need to keep you in mind
As something larger than life
I stay wrecked and jealous for this (She'll destroy us all before she's through)
For this simple reason I
Just need to keep you in mind (And find a way to blame somebody else)
As something larger than life
I stay wrecked and jealous for this (She'll destroy us all before she's through)
For this simple reason I
Just need to keep you in mind (And find a way to blame somebody else)
As something larger than life
Don't bother, angel
I know exactly what goes on
When everything you'll get is everything that you've wanted, princess
(Well, which would you prefer?)

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happened

I won't ever ask if you don't ever tell me.
I know you well enough to know you'll never love me.
why cant i feel anything from anyone other than you?
second, i agree with a bunch of the people who posted saying, "dont just post and not address the meaning of the song, this forum is about lyrics not about approval or disapproval." however, most of those people immediately contradicted themselves by not including their view of the song after saying that.
third, don't look up taking back sunday lyrics and then post saying "taking back sunday is emo-pussy shit." if you dont like the band, then you shouldnt be here. also, why is singing about a girl pussy shit? since the beginning of music, rock especially, 90% of the songs created have been about girls. i hate the name of the genre, "emo," because all music is emotional. the difference between "music" and "noise" is emotion.
last, some posts were on the right track bringing up the bands history. the question about this song is "who wrote it?" if adam wrote it then it is definitely about john's sister, cheating on him. this seems logical. however if john wrote this song, then it would have to be about the incident with jesse lacey's girlfriend, and how he felt about her while she was dating jesse.
if the difference between":music" and and "noise" is emotion, than how do you rate the pyshcocandy album by the Jesus and Mary Chain? because it's definitely emotional and about a girl, but it's definitely noise also.... (PS Not a criticism becuase I love them also.)
"she'll destroy us all before she's through
and find a way to blame somebody else"
watch the video closely, especially the very beginning where it says, "I am Jack's recrut"
for anyone that has seen the movie fight club, it should have put two and two together.
the movie is all about how nothing is what it seems.
if you watch the video and listen closley to the words you will understand.
the song is trying to stress that nothing really is what it seems.
