When I wake up,
I'm willing to take my chances on the hope
I forget that you hate him more than you notice
I wrote this for you.
You need him.
I could be him

I could be an accident but I'm still trying.
That's more than I can say for him.
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
Someday I'll appreciate in value, get off my ass and call you
But for the meantime I'll sport my brand new fashion
Of waking up with pants on at 4:00 in the afternoon

    My Interpretation:i really love this song,just remembering it after years but even though there is a literal meaning to it some say its pete okay but putting that aside i think its about a girl who has a boyfriend in which she hates he has stop trying in the relationship and then here comes another boy who is willing to try or even be a slip up on her part so he asks her wheres her boy n hope hes a gentlemen hope he doesn't cheat or do something not gentlemen like but then again the other boy and this girl share a secret whether its they were did something together or how she is without this guy most likely its the first then he goes on to say that she's the only reason he had to like the town

    My Opinion:Years later and I still love this song. About a boy who loves this girl *we all know that*. Music vid also adds to that point by him watching over/stalking her. She's with a complete douche that she's in love with. And we know that he will do anything to keep her happy.

    He is the romantic that will give all for her, but she chooses to be with a jerk.

    It sucks to know that feeling.

    General Comment:Ya i would say this song is about a guy who likes a girl but she is with someone else who is not very nice to her. He is kinda lazy and will try another day, also i would have to say the Nickasaur version of this song is waaaay better then FOB. Just me saying, with the voice changes and beat, just sounds better to me but i acually found a FOB song i decently like =D

    General Comment:One of my favorite Fall Out Boy songs. Funny, cuz I use to hate these guys for no reason XP. Everyone knows the story: Pete likes girl, girl has douchebag boyfriend, Pete thinks girl should drop douchebag boyfriend and be with him instead. I really love the chorus of this song. It sounds so sarcastic and condescending but then he compliments her. Awesome song.

    Song Meaning:I personally know the guy that this song is about and he is not an a$$hole. However, the song would be no good if the singer did not portray him as so. This song is about Pete and my friend's ex-fiance (he went to school with FOB, in Chicago, before they made it big) seeing each other behind his back. Who's the a$$hole now? And seriously, my friend is not being cocky or lying; he's a decent fellow who deserves better than cheating b!tches.

    General Comment:Maybe I just take things in weird ways but I think this song is about a transvestite!
    This part says to me that a gentleman won't try and sleep with her and find out the truth that she is actually a he!

    "I hope he is a gentleman
    and maybe he won't find out what I know,
    You were the last good thing about this part of town"
