Sending Postcards from a Plane Crash (Wish You Were Here) Lyrics

I am such a sucker
And I'm always the last to know
My insides are copper
And I'd kill to make them gold
Conversation got me here: another night alone in the city
So make my bed the grave and shovel dirt onto my sheets

Every friend we ever had in common
I will sever the tie with you
You can thank your lucky stars
That everything I wish for will never come true

When you go, I will forget everything about you

I've seen sinking ships go down with more grace than you

Turn this up I'll tune you out
Another night alone in the city
Fake it like you matter cause that's a lie we can both keep

I am such a sucker And I'm always the last to know- he falls for the wrong ones, and finds out My insides are copper I'd kill to make them gold- he wants to be a better person Conversation got me here: another night alone in the city- arguments with someone So make my bed the grave and shovel dirt onto my sheets- he caused the argument so he has to deal with it

Every friend we ever had in common I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you- doesnt want anything to do with her You can thank your lucky stars That everything I wish for will never come true- he knows his life is 'fucked' without her

When you go, I will forget everything about you When you go, I will forget everything about you

I have seen sinking ships go down with more grace than you- she made it obvious that she was cheating maybe and she could have hid it better

Turn this up I'll tune you out Another night alone in the city, yeah Fake it like you matter-that's a lie we can both keep, ohh- sex reference ?

Every friend we ever had in common I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you You can thank your lucky stars That everything I wish for will never come true

When you go, I will forget everything about you When you go, I will forget everything about you

I will forget (When you go, I will forget everything about you) When you go (I will forget everything about you)

Every friend we ever had in common I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you You can thank your lucky stars That everything I wish for will never come true

lol... Girl ive been on song meanings for 4 years I have changed my taste in music but not my screen name... NFG's music isnt as good as the nothing gold can stay days but they are still mad cool guys...

it's funny. i don't, like, go into the city or sleep around. i'm just a sucker and i'm always the last to know. then i get pissed off. my general way of dealing with life is to tune people out with music.

also, i think some people i know missed the definition of sucker. i think a lot of the people i know don't actually understand the english language at all, but that's life.

what is this song about, its awesome

Cover art for Sending Postcards from a Plane Crash (Wish You Were Here) lyrics by Fall Out Boy

this one is another basic "I'm pissed because you broke up with me" tune. what sets fall out boy's stuff from the sea of other "I'm pissed because you broke up with me" songs is the dazzling wordplay. I think in this one, he his former lover to die (evident in the song's title, and elsewhere), and then he wants to die too (the "make my bed the grave..." line). but as always, he only half-means what he's saying, which is evident in the chorus.
