regressing back to my 13 year old music taste this year for whatever reason. one of my friends has a list of her favourite fall out boy lyrics from every song on every album and i think it's honestly about time that i make one of those for myself.

thank god for whatever is wrong with pete wentz
take this to your grave

1. so bury me in memory around your throat
2. the songs you grow to like never stick at first / so i'm writing you a chorus 
3. where is your boy tonight / i hope he is a gentleman / maybe he won't find out what i know
4. i'm good to go for something golden + i read about the afterlife / but i never really lived (!!!)
5. tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that i can't say + my smile's an open wound without you :")
6. everything i wish for will never come true
7. my heart is on my sleeve / wear it like a bruise or black eye
8. my pen is the barrel of the gun / remind me which side you should be on (!!!!)
9. i know this is belated but we love you back!
10. reception, less than warm, set it off / and the sun burnt out tonight
11. a failure at everything, 18 going on extinct (this song went crazy when i was 18.)
12. and when it all goes to hell / (take this to your grave) / will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face? / (i'll take it to mine)

from under the cork tree

1. the ribbon on my wrist says "do not open before christmas"
2. we're making out inside crashed cars (!) + i used to waste my time dreaming of being alive / now i only waste it dreaming of you (!!)
3. WHYYY DON'T YOU SHOWWWW MEEEE A LITTLE BIT OF SPINEEEE YOU'VE BEEN SAVING FOR HIS MATTRESSSSS... LOVE! + these words are all i have so i'll write them (listening to dance, dance isn't enough i need it injected into my veins.)
4. i'm just dying to tell you anything you wanna hear!!!!!!!! + WISHING TO BE THE FRICTION IN HIS JEANS (i could honest to god sit here and type out this entire song from start to finish.)
5. nothing comes as easy as you + wear me like a locket around your throat / i'll weigh you down, watch you choke / you look so good in blue
6. JOKE ME SOMETHING AWFUL LIKE KISSES ON THE NECKS OF BEST FRIENDS (!!!!!!!) 
7. the only thing worse than not knowing / is you thinking that i don't know 
8. the best part of believe is the lie / i hope you sing along and you steal a line / i need to keep you like this in my mind 
9. you are a getaway car, a rush of blood to the head / but me, i'm just the covers on top of your bed
10. i am sorry my conscience called in sick again / i've got arrogance down to a science / i'm the first to kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
11. i set my clocks early cos i know i'm always late!!! 
12. this has been said so many times that i'm not sure if it matters + i used to obsess over living now i only obsess over you
13. love never wanted me, but i took it anyway 
14. keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind / keep talking, keep this alive 
15. i got your love letters, corrected the grammar, and sent them back / it's true romance is dead, i shot it in the chest then in the head!
16. i'm the kind of kid that can't let anything go / but you wouldn't know a good thing if it came up and slit your throat 

infinity on high
this whole album makes me feel sick to my stomach. SICK. 
 
1. the only thing i haven't done yet is die / and it's me and my plus one at the afterlife (!!!!!) 
2. don't pretend you ever forgot about me! wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee! 
3. at night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep / crashing not like hips or cars but more like parties!!!! 
4. i only keep myself this sick in the head / cause i know how the words get you + ME AND YOU SETTING IN A HONEYMOON (!!!!!!!) + eyes the size of baby worlds (!!!!!!!!!) 
5. THE ROAD OUTSIDE MY HOUSE IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS / YOU ARE THE DREAMER AND WE ARE THE DREAM / I COULD WRITE IT BETTER THAN YOU EVER FELT IT / SO HUM HALLELUJAH / JUST OFF THE KEY OF REASON / I THOUGHT I LOVED YOU IT WAS JUST HOW YOU LOOKED IN THE LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! / A TEENAGE VOW IN A PARKING LOT / TIL TONIGHT DO US PART / I SING THE BLUES AND SWALLOW THEM TOO!!!!!!!!!!! + I LOVE YOU IN THE SAME WAY THERE'S A CHAPEL IN THE HOSPITAL / ONE FOOT IN YOUR BEDROOM AND ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(sorry i can't be normal about this song. my fucking god.) 
6. i saw god cry in the reflection of my enemies / and all the lovers with no time for me 
7. he tastes like you only sweeter (can't get any better (gayer) than this)
8. a penny for your thoughts but a dollar for your insights / or a fortune for your disaster! 
9. i'm a stitch away from making it / and a scar away from falling apart 
10. we're throwing stones at a glass moon / we're so miserable and stunning / love songs for the genuinely cunning (my most toxic trait is that i think tswift copied new romantics off of carpal tunnel of love)
11. BEST FRIENDS / EX FRIENDS TIL THE END / BETTER OFF AS LOVERS BUT NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!!! + I CAN'T COMMIT TO A THING BE IT HEART OR HOSPITAL + I CAST A SPELL OVER THE WEST TO MAKE YOU THINK OF ME THE SAME WAY I THINK OF YOU / THIS IS A LOVE SONG IN MY OWN WAY / HAPPILY EVER AFTER BELOW THE WAIST!!!!! (and it was about MIKEYWAY THE WHOLE TIMEEEEE)
12. i am god's gift but why would he bless me with such wit without a conscience equipped? + i'm alright in bed but i'm better with a pen
13. hang on a rope or bated breath / whichever you prefer  
14. tell the boys where to find my body / new york eyes, chicago thighs / pushed up the window to kiss you off (!!!)
15. I'VE LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU THAT HURT / SO LET ME SEE YOUR MOVES / LIPS PRESSED CLOSE TO MINE, TRUE BLUE + TRADE BABY BLUES FOR WIDE-EYED BROWNS / I SLEEP WITH YOUR OLD SHIRTS AND WALK THROUGH THIS HOUSE / KNOW IT'S STRANGE / IT'S A STRANGE WAY OF SAYING THAT I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU!!!! (and it was called gay is not a synonym for shitty the whole time.)
16. the only ring i want buried with me are the ones around my eyes / you're appealing to emotions that i simply do not have

folie à deux

1. what a match, i'm half-doomed / and you're semi-sweet (!!!!!) (and it was about patrick the whole time.) 
2. say my name and his in the same breath / i dare you to say they taste the same 
3. the light's are on and everybody's home / the only thing suicidal here is the door
4. why, why, why won't the world revolve around me? 
5. DOES YOUR HUSBAND KNOW THE WAY THAT THE SUNSHINE GLEAMS FROM YOUR WEDDING BAND!!!!! + tempest in a teacup, get unique / peroxide princess shine like shark teeth 
6. i wanna scream "i love you" from the top of my lungs / but i'm afraid that someone else will hear me!!!! (and it was a gay ass song the whole time.)
7. i'm a mascot for what you've become / i love the mayhem more than the love :') 
8. i will never end up like him / behind my back i already am + i've got troubled thoughts and the self esteem to match (AND THIS WAS ALSO ABOUT PATRICK. THE WHOLE TIMEEEEE) 
9. i want it so bad i'd shoot the sunshine into my veins + my body is an orphanage, we take everyone in 
10. dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city 
11. my head's in heaven, my soles are in hell / let's meet in the purgatory of my hips and get well
12. i'm a stray dog sick / please take me back / please let me in 
13. don't feel bad for the suicidal cats, gotta kill themselves 9 times before they get it right + your eyes are blocking my starlight / i'm the last of my kind 
14. i want to make you as lonely as me / so you can get addicted to this 

save rock & roll
this album was SO important to 13 year old me. i think it's my most listened to album of all time.

1. cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies / silver clouds with grey linings 
2. i've got the scars from tomorrow and i wish you could see / that you're the antidote to everything except for me / a constellation of tears on your lashes 
3. my heart is like a stallion, they love it more when it's broken (!!!!!) 
4. i'm here to collect your hearts / it's the only reason that i sing / i don't believe a word you say but i can't stop listening 
5. I THOUGHT OF ANGELS. CHOKING ON THEIR HALOS. GET THEM DRUNK ON ROSE WATER. SEE HOW DIRTY I CAN GET THEM PULLING OUT THEIR FRAGILE TEETH. AND CLIP THEIR TINY WINGS. ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE HELD AGAINST YOU. SO ONLY SAY MY NAME. IT WILL BE HELD AGAINST YOU. IF HEAVEN'S GRIEF BRINGS HELL'S RAIN. THEN I'D TRADE ALL MY TOMORROWS FOR JUST ONE YESTERDAY. 
(sorry once again i could just sit and type out this entire song from memory but truly just the most insane intro to chorus run in a song of all time.
6. if you ask me two's a whole lot lonelier than one / baby we should've left our love in the gutter where we found it (my real favourite lyrics are big sean's entire verse. HELL YEAH IM A DICK GIRL ADDICTED TO YOU)
7. the person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger + i will sing to you every day if it will take away the pain
8. undress to impress / you can wear the crown but you're no princess 
9. in poison places, we are anti-venom / we're the beginning of the end 
10. i'm about to make your sweat roll backwards / and your heart beat in reverse // as alone as a little white church in the middle of the desert getting burned!!! + i'm a lonelier version of you, i just don't know where i went wrong (PLUS COURTNEY LOVE'S ENTIRE VERSE, AGAIN)
11. you are what you love :') not who loves you :') in a world full of the word yes :') i'm here to scream no :') 

[im skipping pax-am days. sorry. i love the music i just think it's more of a sonic experience than a lyrical one.] 

american beauty / american psycho

1. too many war wounds, not enough wars / too many sharks, not enough blood in the waves / you know i give my love a four letter name + i'm no good at lip service, except when they're yours, mi amor (and this song was literally about getting fucked by a MAN) 
2. i wish i dreamt in the shape of your mouth (!!!)
3. bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints + i can't stop until the whole world knows my name / cause i was only born inside my dreams 
4. on film or between the sheets / i always fall from your window to the pitch black streets + and in the end, i'd do it all again, i think you're my best friend :')  + empty your sadness like you're dumping your purse on my bedroom floor
5. AND I SLEPT IN LAST NIGHT'S CLOTHES IN TOMORROW'S DREAMS BUT THEY'RE NOT QUITE WHAT THEY SEEM!!!!!!!! (some of my favourite lyrics ever written of all time since i was literally THIRTEEEEEN)
6. did you ever love her do you know? or did you never want to be alone? + she's singing baby come home in a melody of tears while the rhythm of the rain keeps time 
7. i will always land on you like a sucker punch 
8. ILL BE AS HONEST AS YOU LET ME. I MISS YOUR EARLY MORNING COMPANY. IF YOU GET ME. YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE WHAT IF. YOU ARE THE BEST I'LL NEVER KNOW. + YOU ARE THE DROUGHT / AND IM THE HOLY WATER YOU HAVE BEEN WITHOUT. + I'M SORRY EVERY SONG'S ABOUT YOU!!!! THE TORTURE OF SMALL TALK WITH SOMEONE YOU USED TO LOVE!!!!!! (and it was literally about mikeyway the whole time AGAIN) 
9. you were the song stuck in my head / every song that i've ever loved / and you can get what you want but it's never enough :') 
10. sometimes the only payoff for having any faith / is when it's tested again and again everyday!!!!! + it might be your wound but they're my sutures
11. A BIRTH AND A DEATH ON THE SAME DAY / HONEY I ONLY APPEARED SO I CAN FADE AWAY!!!!! 

mania

1. some princes don't become kings / you only get what you grieve + the only thing that's ever stopping me is me
2. I KNOW THIS WHOLE DAMN CITY THINKS IT NEEDS YOU, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I DO!!!!!!!!! 
3. REALISED I CAN'T NOT BE WITH YOU / OR BE JUST YOUR FRIEND / I LOVE YOU TO DEATH BUT I JUST CAN'T PRETEND / WE WERE LOVERS FIRST. CONFIDANTS BUT NEVER FRIENDS. WERE WE EVER FRIENDS? (this was about shuake, actually. to me. thanks to this album for coming out at the same time as persona 5.)
4. there's nothing more cruel than to be loved by everybody but you + i hope the roof flies off and we all get blown out into space!!!!
5. i love the world, i just don't love the way it makes me feel 
6. if there were any more left of me, i'd give it to you / i am a missile that's guided to you
7. i got rage every day, on the inside / the only thing i do is sit around and kill time 
8. the world tried to burn all the mercy out of me, but you know i wouldn't let it!!! + there are no atheists in foxholes!!!
9. i lived so much life, i think that god is gonna have to kill me twice 
10. and i'm yours / til the earth starts to crumble & the heavens roll away / i'm struggling to exist with you and without you 

so much (for) stardust

1. we were a hammer to the statue of david / we were a painting you could never frame / and you were the sunshine of my lifetime :') 
2. no matter what they tell you / the future's up for grabs / is there a word for bad miracle? 
3. PART-TIME SOULMATE FULL-TIME PROBLEM!!!!!! + call you up and demand you have no fun without me! 
4. love is in the air, i just gotta figure out a window to break out 
5. I WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR ANYTHING. EXCEPT TO DREAM SWEET OF ME. TELL ME WHEN THE PARTY ENDS. WILL YOU STILL LOVE WHO I AM. + HALF YOUR LIFE YOU'VE BEEN HOOKED ON DEATH!!!!! 
6. i'll be whatever you need me to be / i cut myself down / to be whatever you need me to be
7. the sky about ten minutes before it started to rain... a moment where your laughter becomes a cackle... :') 
8. SMASH ALL THE GUITARS!!!! TIL WE SEE ALL THE STARS!!!!! WE GOT TO THROW THIS YEAR AWAY!!!!! LIKE A BAD LUCK CHARM!!!!!! (life-changing song for me this summer BTW.)
9. last night i dreamt i still knew you / i carved out a place in this world for two / but it's empty without you / i've got all this love i've got to keep to myself 
10. what is there between us, if not a little annihilation? 
11. i felt you at the beginning / but needed you at the end
12. i just need someone to hold me / even though you don't even know me
13. in another life, you were the sunshine of my lifetime!!!!! (CALLBACK!)
