steph, mcee and erin.

one in bold are ones i'm considering.

yeah, this list is long. I LOVE THE LYRICS. WE ESTABLISHED THAT.


We're pretty boys for secret girls,

Happily ever after (on ankle?)

We're only liars, but we're the best

We're sleeping through all our memories

I'm two quarters and a heart down.

These words are all I have so I'll write them/(So you need them just to get by.)

Drop a heart, break a name.

I'll be your best kept secret/And your biggest mistake.

We're the kids who feel like dead ends.

And the poets are just kids who didn't make it (and never had it at all)

I'm hopelessly hopeful. You're just hopeless enough.

'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

We're the best boys

We're traveled like gypsies/Only with worse luck and far less gold

Ashamed of the way/The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts

We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame

And you're the only place that feels like home.

They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone

I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts.

I'm the kind of kid that can't let anything go

long live the car-crash hearts

Sing, until your lungs give out

You are the dreamer (And we are the dream)

Till tonight do us part.

And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster.

And we might have started singing just a little soon.

We might've said good byes just a little soon.

I've loved everything about you that hurts

It's a strange way of saying that I know I'm supposed to love you

And I've traced your shadows on the wall (Now I kiss them whenever I'm down)

To my favorite liar, to my favorite scar

So bury me in memory

You were the last good thing about this part of town.

I could be an accident but I'm still trying.

golden

Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say

Tonight I'm writing you a million miles away

And my hands are tied to pages inked (To bring you back.)

But there's a light on in Chicago, (And I know I should be home)

My heart ticks in beat with these kids that I grew up with.

Every time I see Pete's lyrics written out, I'm more and more convinced YOU are secretly Pete Wentz. :o

I like: two quarters and a heart down

Golden = pee :|

I KNOW.

I KNOW.

I like that one too. When I heard it, I was like, 'oh.'


How I can I be so alone
Lying here next to you
It's like a wall
built around myself
Made up of things
As yet unknown.

I'm not good
But I'm doing better
I've got my faith
You've got your suspicions

These are for tattoos, right? I think "scars and stories" would be a great tattoo, even better than the full line. I mean, a seriously awesome tattoo. The whole idea of that line is the physical reminders of the places we've been and the things we've done left on our bodies- what's better to have permanently etched on your skin? A reminder that everything is about you is a culmination of everything you've seen and done, forever.

I think "Tonight do us part" is a great line, but a stupid tattoo, to be honest. Isn't the whole idea about ephemerality? On a tattoo? Really? You don't see the irony?

I have to say, a lot of these seem kinda... youthful. Which isn't a good thing, really, because one day you won't be a youth.

"Long live the car crash hearts," is my favorite of what you've bolded. And "golden" is second best.

we're also liking two quarters and a heart down, i think.

the youthful thing is totally a good point, and that's why many of those aren't bolded.
