Your lipstick, his collar...
Don't bother Angel,
I know exactly what goes on

When everything you'll get is everything that you've wanted, princess
(Well which would you prefer?)
My finger on the trigger, or
(Me face down, down across your floor)
Me face down, dead across your floor
(Me face down, down across your floor)
Well just so long as this thing's loaded

And will you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head?
This all was only wishful thinkin',
This all was only wishful thinkin'
And will you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head?
This all was only wishful thinkin',
This all was only wishful thinkin'
Let's go...

Don't bother trying to explain angel
I know exactly what goes on when you're on, and
How about I'm outside of your window?
(Well how about I'm outside of your window??)
Watchin' him keep the details covered?
You're such a sucker (for a sweet talker, yeah)
...Such a sucker...

And will you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head?
This all was only wishful thinkin',
This all was only wishful thinkin'
(The only thing I'll regret is that I...)
And will you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head?
(...I never let you hold me back)
This all was only wishful thinkin',
This all was only wishful thinkin'

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you'll never love me

(Why can't I feel anything from anyone other than you?)
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you'll never love me

(Why can't I feel anything from anyone other than you??)
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know...

And all of this was all your fault
And all of this...

(It makes things worse!)

I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
For this simple reason I
Just need to keep you in mind
As something larger than life
(She'll destroy us all before she's through)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
For this simple reason I
(She'll find a way to blame somebody else)
Just need to keep you in mind
As something larger than life
(She'll destroy us all before she's through)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
For this simple reason I
(She'll find a way to blame somebody else)
Just need to keep you in mind
As something larger than life

    Memory:After I broke up with my boyfriend because of addictions he wouldn't let me help him overcome, I found out that he was just using me the whole time and cheated on me. He's an amazing liar. He has to have antisocial personality disorder. My intuition couldn't even detect his lies, and my intuition is usually amazing. Anyway, his friend actually had the decency to tell me that he cheated on me. I wanted him to know that I knew without getting his friend in trouble for telling me, so I Facebook messaged him a link to the video for this song, along with this message: "Here. I like using songs to say things. Remember how I know when you're lying and how you're so easy for me to read? I know everything... I'm a pretty good actor, aren't I? Oh yeah, and you're a sociopath and have schizoaffective disorder. You may want to get those checked out... Don't fuck a psychologist and expect to get away with shit." It made me feel pretty awesome. Then after I sent it, I noticed the part towards the end of the video where the subliminal message style words say "God does not like you", and it made me laugh because my ex was always trying to convert me to Christianity, but I don't think cheating and using people are very Christian things to do, lol...

    My Opinion:the song is catchy i will give it that, but it is nothing new, so glad emo went away, the only thing is it has turned into this pop core stuff. It's a song about the same old stuff written to a punk soundtrack, it's sad that bands like this have latched onto punk in its true form and turned into whindging love sick bitches. i may be harsh but the song is destructive, theres more to life than love and writing about wanting to kill yourself because of it, seriously, listen to real punk that wants to help the world not make more twilight fans

    My Interpretation:This song is so sick.. This dude is obviously completely in love with this girl, considering he's pretty damn positive she cheated on him, yet he doesn't want to admit to himself. "Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happened a thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins" Yet you can tell how pissed off he is even thinking about it. He's trying to move on.. But he can't get her off his mind. "Why can't I feel anything from anyone other than you?!"

    Tell All Your Friends.. Story of my life

    General Comment:Taking Back Sunday is truly the best band in our time. Cute without the "e" is an epic song. The whole band is epic especially their line-up. I cannot wait to see their concert at "an institute of higher learning". I myself feel special for being the 1000th person to comment on this song. I hope they perform this song tomorrow. Cannot wait. Tomorrow will be the most epic moment in history. TBS has always been the best and I am proud to be a fan for all these years and for those to come.

    General Comment:i think that people have missed a huge key component in all of this.
    watch the video closely, especially the very beginning where it says, "I am Jack's recrut"
    for anyone that has seen the movie fight club, it should have put two and two together.
    the movie is all about how nothing is what it seems.
    if you watch the video and listen closley to the words you will understand.
    the song is trying to stress that nothing really is what it seems.

    Song Meaning:I looked this song up on SongMeanings to see different interpretations of the song. It seems like most people are either praising or bashing the song/band, or comparing TBS to other bands. i would just like to know what everyone thinks it's called "Cute Without the E". Is it meaning cut, like cut from a team?
