I haven't read everyones comments on this song, cuz there is A LOT. But i personally think its about the whole john nolan incident. (for those of you who don't know, john nolan.. formerly of taking back sunday.. slept with jesses girlfriend at the time.. these guys were best friends forever, until this happened) I think the first part of the song is directed at the girl "I am all you ever wanted, what all the other boys all promised, sorry i told (meaning sorry he has to put it that blunt), i just needed you to no. and when he says he thinks in decimals and dollars, he means that sorry he has to tell the whole world that shes basically a whore, but these kind of songs sell. he wants the song to start a craze because he wants her to always be reminded of what she did to him. .and every line is about who he doesnt want to write about anymore. the girl was obvioulsy keeping a secret from him. i believe that it was she slept with his best friend. so hes saying that she could have pretended that she didnt wanna get caught.
i think the next few lines are about his band, and in comparisson to taking back sunday which was john nolans big pride and joy
Oh, we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial.
we are entirely smooth.
we admit to the truth,
we are the best at what we do
hte following lines i think are comparing himself to john, saying how he is better
and these are the words you wish you wrote down.
this is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart.
oh my tongue's the only muscle on my body
that works harder than my heart.
and its all from watching tv,
and from speeding up my breathing.
wouldnt stop if i could.
his clever lyrics that he sings over and over to remind himself of what he did, therefore spitting out negative things thus working his tongue harder than trying to heal his heart
oh it hurts to be this good.
you're holding on to your grudge.
oh it hurts to always have to be honest
with the one that you love.
oh, so let it go..
what hes saying is that they have been best friends forever so he is mocking him by saying i bet its hard having to tell me this etc etc
the chorus is basically about how everything is falling apart, his relationship and his closest friendship, i hope this makes sense to someone
