  • I've loved everything about you that hurts, so
    Let me see your moves
    Let me see your moves
    Lips pressed this close to mine
    True blue

    But the prince of any failing empire knows that
    Everybody wants, everybody wants
    To drive on through the night
    If it's a drive back home

    Things aren't the same anymore
    Some nights, they get so bad
    You almost pick up the phone

    Trade baby blues for wide eyed browns
    I sleep with your old shirts
    And walk through this house in your shoes
    You know it's strange
    It's a strange way of saying
    That I know I'm supposed to love you
    I'm supposed to love you, oh-oh

    I've already given up on myself twice
    Third time is the charm, third time is the charm
    Threw caution to the wind
    But, I've got a lousy arm

    And I've traced your shadows on the wall
    Now I kiss them whenever I'm down
    Whenever I'm down
    Figured, I'm not figuring myself out

    Things aren't the same anymore
    Some nights, they get so bad
    I almost pick up the phone

    Trade baby blues for wide eyed browns
    I sleep with your old shirts
    And walk through this house in your shoes
    You know it's strange
    It's a strange way of saying
    That I know I'm supposed to love you
    I'm supposed to love you, whoa

    Born under a bad sign, you saved my life
    That night on the roof of your hotel
    Cross my heart and hope to die
    Splinter from the headboard in my eye
    Photo-proofed kisses I remembered so well

    Trade baby blues for wide eyed browns
    I sleep with your old shirts
    And walk through this house in your shoes
    You know it's strange
    It's a strange way of saying
    That I know I'm supposed to love you
    I'm supposed to love you, whoa-oh-oh Writer/s: Andrew John Hurley, Joseph Mark Trohman, Patrick Martin Stump, Peter Lewis Wentz

  • Faith from United StatesI think one of the most important lyrics of this song is:
    --"Born under a bad sign, but you saved my life
    That night on the roof of your hotel
    "Cross my heart and hope to die
    Splintered from the headboard in my eye"
    Photo-proofed kisses I remembered so well --

    And we all know what this means
  • Jasmine Tu from Los Angeles, United States Okay basically this song is about Mikey Way from My Chemical Romance, most of the songs (or probably all of them in Infinity on High are about Mikey, the whole thing happened when MCR and FOB were doing a tour together in 2005 and Pete fell in love with Mikey they ended up wearing each others clothings and accessories, after the 2005 Warped Tour Pete started to write songs about him and still is.
  • Audrey from UtahThe majority of this album is, I think, based on Pete's fling with Mikey Way in 2005 on Warped Tour. I think this song has something to do with Pete having a crush on Patrick for a while until meeting Mikey hence the line "trade baby blues for wide eyed browns" and the song might also be relating to Pete being "gay above the waist" therefore having anxieties about the relationship and his sexuality.
  • Isadora from Tramandaí, BrazilI think maybe this song isn't just about one theme so there's a chance of having Smth related to Patrick because I believe in Peterick even if it was just a "platonic" crush from Pete's part. Cause you know who doesn't love Patrick in the end? Haha
  • Shayna2013 from Piketon, Ohg.i.n.a.s.f.s. does stand for gay is not a synonym for *hitty...and in my opinion it was written about pat even though they never officially dated they've always been close and i think that at one time they may have been THAT close..im pretty sure that pete dated ryan ross at one time so thats a possability also..hes said that he kissed guys before and that "anyone above the waist was fair game"..
  • Ma from São Paulo, BrazilI don't belive in Pete + Patrick, but, it's a good song...
  • Morgan from Gresham, Oruhm. Peter isn't in love with Patrick or anything...trust me on that okay? haha
  • Brittany from Townsville, AustraliaKyle has an odd idea and yep strange lol!!!
  • Kyle from Utah, UtIf Pete wrote this about Patrick, why is Patrick singing it?
  • Jenna from Nova Scotia, CanadaOK,don't freak at me,but I'm pretty sure Pete wrote it about Patrick. Just my opinion.
  • Alyssa from Milwaukee, WiWhere did you hear that?
  • Laura from Bham, United KingdomVery true nami.
  • Nami from Seattle, WaG.I.N.A.S.F.S actually means Gay Is Not A Synonym For S--tty
