So long
Congratulations, break a leg tonight
What a shame
I heard the understudy died under the knife
Crying backwards under bedroom light

The operation

I don't think you'll ever want to love me
You'd better listen to your doctor

Sober up
And bury the empty cup
In a backyard of Seattle we used to lie
When I sew you up
Don't let me stop bleeding
Tiny stitches that you placed into my skin
Won't let me go, oh no, oh no
And they're ruining the mood
So I'll toast every beat of my heart like a miracle

And I don't think you'll ever want to love me
You'd better listen to your doctor
Doctors lie, lie, lie!
If the dollar is right
Oh my sweet little girl, hold your mouth and you'll be alright

(Gather round, gather round. Ladies and gentlemen
Come from far come from wide
The moment you've all been waiting for
Tonight, join us as we explore the spine-chilling mystery of death
And the miracle of resurrection!)

Please understand me when
I'd rather see you dead
Than live without me, so thirsty for more
Beyond the sea blue light I met the love of my life
She'd rather see me dead than face me
I like your starry eyes,
They yell surprise! Surprise!
I'm in love...but not for long

Our operation, call off the operation

Another wave has turned its back on me
Crashed back on the eyes of the first I see

(If your delicate eyes don't blink someday they might as well be gone)

Can't count on anything. For you I'd count the salt under the sea

    I think this song is about Hollywood and peer pressure, as well as the hunger for perfection. "I don't think you'll ever want to love me" -- This girl is pressured into refusing to love someone as imperfect as this guy. "You'd better listen to your doctor" -- Because this doctor is going to help her achieve "perfection", he's giving her the mindset that anything less than perfect in unacceptable. Therefore, the guy and girl could never be together. "If the dollar is right" -- The doctors don't care about her really and how she's being brainwashed, just money. "I'd rather see you dead" -- He would rather her die in the process of perfection or die imperfect than live with her rejection. "I'm in love...but not for long" -- He won't love her after she's been changed. I don't know that's my weird interpretation, but I love Pierce the Veil :)
