Cover art for The Last of the Real Ones lyrics by Fall Out Boy

"I was just an only child of the universe/and then I found you" Being alone but being powerful, then finding something that changes your life, finally a friend. "You are the sun and I am just the planets/spinning around you" You're more powerful than me, essential for me to exist, but there's more to me than there is to you. "You were too good to be true/ gold plated/ but what's inside you" You were too amazing to be real, you appear royal and bulletproof but I want to know who you really are. "I know this whole damn city needs you/but not as much as I do" Everyone needs you, but you're essential to me. "You're the last of a dying breed" You're unique and we need each other. "Write our names in the wet concrete" Do something rash that will affect everyone for years to follow.
