Hips swaying, lips lie
Like clockwork, she's in control
Of all the right guys and I'm still waiting

Fitted hats and a car alarm
Wears high-tops with her favorite song
She's showing off, the way she walks, it's on

Take me, show me
The corners of your empty room
The trouble we could get into
Just fake it for me
Disregard the footsteps
And we'll never tell a soul

Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious

I walk a fine line
Between the right and the real
They watch me closely but talk is cheap here
Like a weightless currency
Your words don't mean shit to me
I'm always cashing out

Take me, show me
The corners of your empty room
The trouble we could get into
Just fake it for me
Disregard the footsteps
And we'll never tell a soul

Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious, I confess
Tonight I'm dressed up in gold
You've got me fucked up and so
You talk like you're famous, you're shameless

Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious, I confess
Tonight I'm dressed up in gold
You've got me fucked up and so
You talk like you're famous, you're shameless

Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious, I confess
Tonight I'm dressed up in gold
You've got me fucked up and so
You talk like you're famous, you're shameless

    General Comment:I think it's about a party or club their at because everyone dresses up and dances. In clubs there's always that one girl that gets any guy there and he's just waiting for his turn. Then he's done with waiting and goes after her. Where she only wants a fling, he wants more. So for the night he wants to pretend that she and he will have more than jsut the night, but she makes it obvious that she only wants the one night.

    My Interpretation:Hips sway and lips lie
    Like clockwork, she's in control
    Of all the right guys
    And I'm still waiting

    she is the hottest chick and shes always going out with hot guys too but he(lets say alex) starts to notice her noticing him but he doesnt know if he's just alucinating cause how could she be looking at him?
    Fitted hats and a car alarm
    In her high-tops with her favorite song
    She's showing off the way she walks
    It's on
    she wears everything that is in and she looks good in anything she wears and has the great car too and is the type of girl that listens to her car stereo really loud.
    and when she walks everyone is paying attention to her.
    Take me, show me
    (Whoa oh, whoa oh)
    The corners of your empty room
    The trouble we could get in to
    Just fake it for me
    (Whoa oh, whoa oh)
    Disregard the footsteps
    And we'll never tell a soul
    suddenly they're at a party and this girl tells alex she wants to hook up with him but it has to be secret cause no one can know that shes hooking up with a nobody like alex.
    fake it for me, cause he knows that she just uses guys to look good and its only a one night stand
    Tonight I'm finding a way
    To make the things that you say
    Just a little less obvious
    he is trying to think that she really likes him and he is not just anyother guy to her even though she is practically saying he is.
    I walk a fine line
    Between the right and the real
    They watch me closely
    But talk is cheap here
    he is walking between what he should do: keep on going with this, cause it feels right or stop pretending and realize that its not real, that he's just her booty call. and everyone is looking at him cause rumors spread and everyone wants to know if he really did hook up with her or if its a lie ''talk is cheap'' they have to see it to be able to believe it.
    Like a weightless currency
    Your words don't mean shit to me
    I'm always cashing out
    then he starts to see her as just a booty call too so now anything she says he doenst listen, if she starts to talk he just tunes out.
    Tonight I'm dressed up in gold
    You've got me fucked up and sold
    You talk like you're famous
    You're shameless (x3)
    when they meet for some action she treats him like GOLD but really he's just fucked up and sold and ''she talks like shes famous, she's shameless'' now here it seems that she is now the one telling everyone that they hook up when he didnt want anyone to know and she feels famous because everyone is talking about her again and she is shameless because she just uses boys for sex and fame

    General Comment:Okay, does anyone know the song "Noel" by All Time Low, off of their first album The Party Scene?
    It's based off of what I last checked was Alex Gaskarth's current girlfriend, Lisa Ruocco. Her middle name is Noel. But from that song, it sounds like they were sneaking out and having a secret relationship with one another despite the disapproval from her friends.

    Ring a bell here?

    I'm thinking if that one's about Lisa, then so is this one. It's kinda obvious:
    "Disregard the footsteps
    And we'll never tell a soul"
    I'm thinking that means he's telling her to forget everything around her and just focus on him, and they don't have to tell anyone.
    Because they're sneaking around.

    Maybe I'm over-thinking it, but I'm pretty sure that's who it's about and that's what it's about.

    General Comment:I thought it was about cheating, or hooking up with a rebound, but hookers and prom make sense.
    My two favourite things :D

    General Comment:i reckon this song is about hookers.
    i think it is a bit self explainitory in that element.
    but anyway still love the song.

    General Comment:To me, this song is like, a girl that is a bit of a player, who hooks up with a ton of guys, and has them in control.
    Despite this, the guy wants her so bad.

    General Comment:you know, i always thought it was 'the colors of your empty room.'
    i don't know why.
    it kind of sounds like it.
    but i could be very wrong.
    amazing song, nevertheless. (:

    General Comment:ok! i think its about him going to prom with a girl, cuz a lot of girls lose their virginity @ prom..... Fitted hats, (like a suit) and a car alarm (you have to drive there) Favorite song (the song is playing, and shes swaying her hips)..disregard the footsteps (parents could be walking up to the room) the corners of your empty room...etc :)
