I'm sleeping my way out of this one
With anyone who will lie down
I'll be fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down

I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type

I'm sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own
I'm sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own

The only thing worse than not knowing
Is you thinking that I don't know
I'm having another episode
I just need a stronger dose

I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type

I'm sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own
I'm sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own

I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type

I'm sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own

    General Comment:the dances on the wall are the shadows, as he's sitting there all by himself for days; maybe literally, or maybe he just means it felt like a long time

    idk is that too obvious? i just noticed nobody has mentioned that yet :)

    General Comment:This song is about Pete Wentz almost o.d.ing on drugs. It has nothing to do with the lead singer, Patrick, and he isn't still a virgin.

    General Comment:I think pretty much anyone who has attempted suicide/felt suicidal can relate to this. First time I heard this song, I just felt sick, and I cried. It's so sad. Just all of it, and there is a real desperate feel to this song, it's like a cry for help. I wish the people around me could just hear it...
