We were doomed from the start
As lovers are
Why am I doing this?
Digging my own grave
though it's shallow
I would lie in it
Work down in the basement
in the dark
after we crash your car
Hoping fast that the arrow hits the mark
so you know who we are
Please keep the reporters at bay
This is a matter of life and death, but I deal with things like this every day
Please keep the reporters at bay
You never do what I tell you to
You never do what I say
We've been hurting a long time
trying hard for this
We all have sizable scars
We got it
You'd break it all apart
We got it
We can make it work like this, like this, like this
Yes we are a bullet in the heart
and the message is sent
Always dragging your feet on the sand and the hot cement
Make a list of your favorites, write it down, make it legible
A problem we're always facing, we never rest
You either push or pull
Please keep the crowd under control
This is a matter of life and death and we're not prepared, we just want you to know
Please keep the crowd under control
This is the weight of my conscience
This is our all time low
We've been hurting a long time
trying hard for this
We all have sizable scars
We got it
You'd break it all apart
We got it
We can make it work like this, like this, like this
I see my baby
She's starry eyed
I feel my bones break all the time
I see my baby
She's starry eyed
She follows
Don't call me a god
I see my baby
She's starry eyed
I feel my bones break all the time
I see my baby
She's starry eyed
She follows
Don't call me a god
We've been hurting a long time
trying hard for this
We all have sizable scars
We got it
You'd break it all apart
We got it
We can make it work like this, like this, like this
We've been hurting a long time
trying hard for this
We all have sizable scars
We got it
You'd break it all apart
We got it
We could make it work like this, like this, like this

I believe Your Favorite Weapon on vinyl was not distributed by Triple Crown Records/Razor and Tie Direct. Only the EP version was. Note that this song can also be found as a B-Side on Deja Entendu on vinyl.
This is not a Your Favorite Weapon b-side.
This is not available on Your Favorite Weapon vinyl.
This is not "My Nine Rides Shotgun."
It can be found on Beer: The Movie soundtrack.
There is no EP version of Your Favorite Weapon.
It is also not on the Deja Entendu vinyl.
How they don't want to be looked on as "stars" but normal guys... Its a humble song...
How they never knew what they were in for...
Anyways,
I think this song is about a relationship that wasn't meant to last. I don't really like breaking down songs because then I feel like I'm looking to much into it, rather then just listening to it as a whole, but overall, this song seems to make a lot of sense if you just listen to it rather than dissecting it.
Awesome song, but I can't get it out of my head that the guitars sound so similar.
listen with your ears.
& this song is amazing, i love it.
