Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
'Cause that's just who I am this week

Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, and break a name
We're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

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?
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, and break a name
We're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

Down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (take aim at myself)
And sugar, we're going down swinging (take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We're going down, down (down, down)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (take aim at myself)
And sugar, we're going down swinging (take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

    God even though I hate this band with a passion, this is actually a respectable song. Pete wrote this about him and another girl because he writes all the songs and this song is about how he almost commited suicide (hence the lonely god complex cock it and pull it, and, number one with a bullet) so yea. It's about how he'd do anything for the girl he loved, and he's always changing but he still loves her, and he lies in the grass next to the mosaleum is symbolism for being close to death. And after they broke up he wanted to kill himself and he was kind of angry at her, because after they broke up all he was to her was a "notch in your bedpostt" kind of guy so to get back she's just a line in a song. And the drop a heart is how she dropped his, and break a name is like...how she hurt who he is, and sleeping in is missing opportunities and sleeping for the wrong team is doing things for the wrong reasons. Wow this is gonna take a while i'll be back to this later.
