[Verse 1: Big KRIT]
I know you heard that I got nominated
Won't you walk the red carpet with it
With a dress I bought you, it's awful when I've been gone too long
And I call like it ain't been a while
That promise that I hold you down seem like a lyric from your favorite song
I'm not surprised if you step aside and get another
Way too hard to reach like a boy in a bubble
Always on a shuttle to another planet
It's crazy how my crash landed only leave you damaged
I just keep up all the pieces that I left you in
Hoping praying when I'm home I see you again
And you understand I'm being the man I need to be
To provide for the lives of you and me
Cause you know that

[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
I got those jet pack blues
Just like Judy
The kind that makes June feel like September
I'm the last one that you'll ever remember
And I'm trying to find my peace of mind
Behind these two white highway lines
When the city goes silent
The ringing in my ears gets violent

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]
She's in a long black coat tonight
Waiting for me in the downpour outside
She's singing, "Baby, come home" in a melody of tears
While the rhythm of the rain keeps time

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
And I remember
Baby, come home
Baby, come home
Baby, come home
Baby, come home
Did you ever love her, do you know?
Or did you never want to be alone?
And she was singing, "Baby, come home"
"Baby, come home"

[Verse 3: Big KRIT]
I'm talking about another green room, another hotel
Doing what I'm doing a lot, doing it well
Maybe we should kick it next time, go out all the time
Bone appetite it's so bittersweet when I come around
Always on the phone texting and scrolling talking bout business
Swiping my card could never fix it when I visit
And that's the realest drop you whispered in my ear
The last time you cried on the phone, I felt the tear, believe it or not
When I vamp, I give you all that I got
I do this for us so don't ask me to stop
The lights and glamour ain't the reason why I put in this work
I'm seconds from the stage but I'm putting you first
Despite my absence, words and closed captions
Read me like a simple I love you wrote on a napkin
This is more than just a fly by night action
You're the fuel everlasting to keep my jet packing

[Verse 4: Patrick Stump]
I've got those jet pack blues
Fight off the light tonight and just stay with me
Honey, don't you leave
Don't you remember how we used to split a drink
It never mattered what it was, I think
Our hands were just that close
The sweetness never lasts, you know

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]
She's in a long black coat tonight
Waiting for me in the downpour outside
She's singing, "Baby, come home" in a melody of tears
While the rhythm of the rain keeps time

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
And I remember
Baby, come home
Baby, come home
Baby, come home
Baby, come home
Did you ever love her, do you know?
Or did you never want to be alone?
And she was singing, "Baby, come home"
"Baby, come home"

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.
