Panic! at the Disco

Songwriter: Brendon Urie John Feldmann

[Verse 1]
I feel the salty waves come in
I feel them crash against my skin
And I smile as I respire because I know they'll never win
There's a haze above my TV
Changes everything I see
Maybe if I continue watching
I'll lose the traits that worry me

[Pre-Chorus]
Can we fast-forward to go down on me

[Chorus]
Stop there and let me correct it
I want to live a life from a new perspective
You come along because I love your face
And I'll admire your expensive taste
And who cares divine intervention
I want to be praised from a new perspective
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up on getting out of here

[Verse 2]
Taking everything for granted but we still respect the time
We move along with some new passion knowing everything is fine (Everything is fine)
And I would wait and watch the hours fall in a hundred separate lines
But I regain repose and wonder how I ended up inside

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
More to the point, I need to show
How much I can come and go
Other plans fell through
And put a heavy load on you
I know there's no more that need be said
When I'm inching through your bed
Take a look around instead and watch me go

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
It's not fair, just let me perfect it
Don't want to live a life that was comprehensive
Because seeing clear would be a bad idea
Now catch me up on getting out of here
So catch me up I'm getting out of here

[Pre-Chorus][x2]

Named after a line from Name Taken’s “Panic,” Panic! at the Disco was formed by drummer Spencer Smith, bassist Brent Wilson, guitarist Ryan Ross, and vocalist Brendon Urie, and founded in 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada. While crafting pop-influenced songs with theatrical themes, quirky techno beats, and perceptive lyrics, they received some much-deserved attention.

They became the first group signed on Pete Wentz’s (bassist in Fall Out Boy) record label, Decaydance Records (now DCD2 Records). Their hit song that started it all, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” remains one of their top two top forty songs along with “Hallelujah.”

They have released six studio A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, Pretty. Odd., Vices & Virtues, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, Death of a Bachelor, and now their most recent album Pray for the Wicked. These last two albums were actually solo projects from Brendon Urie, since all the other members of the band had already left the group before their release dates; in 2006, bassist Brent Wilson was fired due to his “lack of responsibility and the fact that he wasn’t progressing musically with the band.” And in 2009, guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker left the band to “embark on a musical excursion of their own,” forming The Young Veins. Dallon Weekes, who joined the band as a bassist and songwriter in 2009, had become a touring member only by the time Death of a Bachelor was released and later left the band completely in order to focus on his own music. Weekes was replaced by Nicole Row, the first female member of the band.
