[Verse 1]
Don't panic, no, not yet
I know I'm the one you want to forget
Cue all the love to leave my heart
It's time for me to fall apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you're gone, but I'll be okay
Your hot whiskey eyes have fanned the flame
Maybe I'll burn a little brighter tonight
Let the fire breathe me back to life

[Chorus]
Baby, you were my picket fence, I miss missing you now and then
Chlorine kissed summer skin, I miss missing you now and then
Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger
The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger
Oh, we're fading fast, I miss missing you now and then

[Verse 2]
Making eyes at this husk around my heart
I see through you when we're sitting in the dark
So give me your filth, make it rough
Let me, let me trash your love

[Pre-Chorus]
I will sing to you every day
If it will take away the pain
Oh, and I've heard you got it, got it so bad
'Cause I am the best you'll never have

[Chorus]
Baby, you were my picket fence, I miss missing you now and then
Chlorine kissed summer skin, I miss missing you now and then
Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger
The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger
Oh, we’re fading fast, I miss missing you now and then
Now and then, now and then, now and then

[Outro]
Baby, you were my picket fence
I miss missing you now and then...

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.
