Calm Before the Storm Lyrics
Sat outside my front window
This story's going somewhere
He's well hung and I am hanging up
There's a song on the radio that says
"Let's get this party started"
So let's get this party started
What you do on your own time's just fine
My imaginations much worse
I just never want to know
And what meant the world had folded
Like legs and fingers holding on to
What escapes me what he has:
A better kiss that never lasts
[Chorus]
You said between your smiles and regrets
"Don't say it's over"
Dead and gone
Dead and gone yeah
The calm before the storm, set it off
And the sun burnt out tonight
A reception less than warm, set it off
And the sun burnt out tonight
This is me standing in the arch of the door
Hating that look that's on your face
That says there's another fool like me
There's one born every minute
There's one born every minute
What you do on your own time's just fine
My imaginations much worse
I just never want to know (never want to know)
What meant the world imploded
Inflated then demoted all my
Oxygen to product gas
And suffocated my last chance
[Chorus]
Calm before the storm (set it of, set it off)
Calm before the storm (set it off, set it off)
The calm before the storm, set it off
And the sun burnt out tonight
A reception less than warm set it off
And the sun burnt out tonight
Sun burnt out tonight
The sun burnt out tonight
This story's going somewhere
He's well hung and I am hanging up
There's a song on the radio that says
"Let's get this party started"
So let's get this party started
My imaginations much worse
I just never want to know
And what meant the world had folded
Like legs and fingers holding on to
What escapes me what he has:
A better kiss that never lasts
You said between your smiles and regrets
"Don't say it's over"
Dead and gone
Dead and gone yeah
And the sun burnt out tonight
A reception less than warm, set it off
And the sun burnt out tonight
Hating that look that's on your face
That says there's another fool like me
There's one born every minute
There's one born every minute
My imaginations much worse
I just never want to know (never want to know)
What meant the world imploded
Inflated then demoted all my
Oxygen to product gas
And suffocated my last chance
Calm before the storm (set it off, set it off)
And the sun burnt out tonight
A reception less than warm set it off
And the sun burnt out tonight
The sun burnt out tonight

the lyrics aren't even complete, here they are:
I sat outside my front window...this story's going somewhere: "He's well hung," and I am hanging up. Well there's a song on the radio that says: "Let's get this party started." So let's get this party started.
What you do on your own time's just fine. My imagination's much worse, I just never want to know. And what meant the world had folded like legs and fingers holding onto what escapes me; what he has: a better kiss that never lasts.
You said, between your smiles and regrets: "Don't say it's over." Dead and gone.
The calm before the storm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight. A reception less than warm set it off. The sun burnt out tonight.
This is me standing in the arch of the door hating that look that's on your face that says there's another fool like me. There's one born every minute.

"calm before the storm" is a great metaphor to describe the relationship, from the guy's perspective, the girl stops talking to him, everything goes quiet, calm... then suddenly it blows up in his face when he finds out she's been with someone else the whole time...
I'm surprisesd no1 has commented on this song, i think its great! It's basically about this guy fed up with his girl about talking about other guys... pretty straight forward.. and he's pissed...
Anyways Fall Out Boy rocks and is awesome

the best part is "my imaginations much worse than i ever wanted to know". it sucks so much to just wonder what that person you like is doing with someone else. . . great song
Yea definitely said it...this song is so great and has an incredible sound...this band is so good and all their music is great
This song is so descriptive. Especially the part:
"well theres a song on the radio that says "let's get this party started, let's get this party started" "
Fall Out Boy Rocks Your Mom
by far the best part of this song is he's well hung and i am hanging up
fobpunch, they actually say "what you do on your own time's just fine/my imagination's much worse/i just never want to know". This guy ruben is not very good at submitting lyrics, he got parts of "Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today" wrong too.
good observation about the title, L-Kyne.
I love the first two lines in this song. He sort of starts it off with a cliche line, "sat outside my front window", but then he immediately steps back and goes, "yeah, that was a lame line, but keep listening because it gets better". this idea recurs in the last two lines of the same stanza (the "let's get this party started"s), and possibly when they say "set it off", because to me that sounds like something you'd hear in a full-on dance pop or hip-hop song.
