[Intro]
Only for you, only for you

[Verse 1]
They said, "If you don't let it out, you're gonna let it eat you away"
I'd rather be a cannibal, baby, animals like me don't talk anyway
Feel like an ambulance, chaser of faith
Pray I could replace her, forget the way her tears taste
Oh, the way her tears taste

[Chorus]
Put another X on the calendar, summer's on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life, but only for you, only for you

[Verse 2]
The world may call it a second chance
But when I came back it was more of a relapse
Anticipation's on the other line
And obsession called while you were out
Yeah, it called while you were out

[Chorus]
Put another ex on the calendar, summer's on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life, but only for you, only for you

[Bridge]
Asleep in the hive, I guess all the buzzing got to me
Well, I am still alive, at night your body is a symphony
And I am conducting...

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "If you don't let it out, you're gonna let it eat you away"

[Chorus]
Put another ex on the calendar, summer's on its deathbed
There is simply nothing worse than knowing how it ends
And I meant everything I said that night
I will come back to life, but only for you, only for you

[Post-Chorus]
Only for you, only for you, yeah!
Only for you, only for you, only for you, only for you, yeah!

[Instrumental Outro]

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.
