[Verse 1]
I've loved everything about you that hurt
So let me see your moves, let me see your moves
Lips pressed close to mine
True blue
But the prince of any failing empire knows that
Everybody wants, everybody wants
To drive on through the night if it's a
Drive back home

[Pre-Chorus]
Things aren't the same anymore, some nights, they get so bad
You almost pick up the phone

[Chorus]
Trade baby blues for wide eyed browns, I sleep with your old
Shirts and walk through this house in your shoes, you know, it's
Strange, it's a strange way of saying that I know I'm supposed to
Love you, I'm supposed to love you

[Verse 2]
I've already given up on myself twice
Third time is the charm, third time is the charm
Threw caution to the wind, but I've got a
Lousy arm
And I've traced your shadows on the wall, now I kiss them
Whenever I'm down, whenever I'm down
Figured on not figuring
Myself out

[Pre-Chorus]
Things aren't the same anymore, some nights, they get so bad
I almost pick up the phone

[Chorus]
Trade baby blues for wide eyed browns, I sleep with your old
Shirts and walk through this house in your shoes, you know, it's
Strange, it's a strange way of saying that I know I'm supposed to
Love you, I'm supposed to love you

[Bridge]
Born under a bad sign, you saved my life
That night on the roof of your hotel
"Cross my heart and hope to die
Splintered from the headboard in my eye"
Photo-proofed kisses I remembered so well

[Chorus]
Trade baby blues for wide eyed browns, I sleep with your old
Shirts and walk through this house in your shoes, you know, it's
Strange, it's a strange way of saying that I know I'm supposed to
Love you, I'm supposed to love you

[Outro]

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band hailing from Wilmette, Illinois. The band was formed in 2001 by Pete Wentz, who supplies bass and lyrics to the band, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who both used to be part of metalcore band Arma Angelus. Trohman later recruited vocalist Patrick Stump, who initially tried out as the band’s drummer, after meeting him in a bookstore. After the release of Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket. It was recorded without current drummer Andy Hurley due to him being disinterested in the project; Hurley later joined in 2003 as a replacement touring drummer.

Fueled By Ramen, who were a small independent label at the time, personally called Fall Out Boy to ask them to record a full-length record after hearing one of their demos online. This album became their 2003 debut, Take This To Your Grave, and was a tipping point between the band’s underground success to success in the mainstream. It was the band’s last album to feature Stump as the lead lyricist.

The band’s 2004 acoustic EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, became their first charting release and gave fans a taste of what to expect on their sophomore album From Under The Cork Tree. The album creation was set back in February 2005 after Wentz’s suicide attempt, which influenced songs such as “7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).” The album was released in May 2005 through Island Records, featuring guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
