I had my computer on shuffle today and I came across a song I haven't heard in a while, "Take over the breaks over" by Fall Out Boy. I'm a huge FOB fan but I always kind of hated this song because it was so poppy. While listening to it a few cleverly placed lines stuck out to me. So I looked up the lyrics and what do you know they were amazing. Once again Pete Wentz surprised me by making a seemingly shallow radio single mean something. Patrick Stump managed to make what could have been a dark, not so good song into a radio friendly pop song. I envy that relationship so much. The first line is probably my favorite, it reminds me of a special person.
Baby, seasons change but people don't.
And I'll always be waiting in the back room.
I'm boring but overcompensate
with Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography.
But don't pretend you ever forgot about me.
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me.
Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee?
Style your wake for fashion magazines.
Widow or a divorcee?
Don't pretend, don't pretend.
We don't fight fair. We don't fight fair.
They say your head can be a prison.
Then these are just conjugal visits.
People will dissect us
till This doesn't mean a thing anymore.
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me.
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me.
Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee?
Style your wake for fashion magazines.
Widow or a divorcee?
Don't pretend, don't pretend.
We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces.
We're dropped and well concealed in secret places
We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces.
We're dropped and well concealed in secret places
