The lips that slip are the lips that press
And the lips that leak seem to know you best

I put bodies into motion keep this skin out in the open
Liars turn me on

Bed spread bandit since '89
You wear your heart on your sleeve
And threw mine to the sky

[Chorus]
Bounce bounce baby, bounce back to me (you don't need this)
Bounce bounce baby, bounce back to me (you don't need this)
This is it, call it quits with honesty (you don't need this)
Every word is a curse let loose on me
Your mouth it moves but fails to speak
And when you use your lips they better be on me

The lies that tied your tongue in knots
Are the words that grew to hit my spots
So filthy, dialed desire
Swallowed pride but spit out fire
Liars turn me on

Bed spread bandit since '89
You wear your heart on your sleeve
And threw mine to the sky

[Chorus]

Bounce bounce, baby (bounce bounce, baby)
Bounce bounce, baby (bounce bounce, baby)

So filthy, dialed desire
Swallowed pride but spit out fire
Liars turn me on

[Chorus]

    Song Meaning:If people haven't realized it yet... This song is utterly talking about sex
    "The lips that slip
    Are the lips that press
    And the lips that leak
    Seem to know you best" .
    The guy obviously is having a one night stand with the girl.
    "I put bodies into motion
    Get this skin out in the open
    Liars turn me on

    Bedspread bandit since '89
    You wear your heart on your sleeve
    I threw mine to the sky"

    And the chorus is no doubt the "motions they're saying, and curses"

    "Bounce, bounce, baby
    Bounce back to me
    (You don't need this)
    Bounce, bounce, baby
    Bounce back to me
    (You don't need this)
    This is it, call it quits
    With honesty
    (You don't need this)
    Every word is a curse
    Let loose on me
    Your mouth, it moves
    But fails to speak
    And when you use your lips
    They better be on me"

    It's pretty clear really. Hopefully I don't have to explain what every word means...

    My Interpretation:It seems pretty plain to me that he was in a crappy relationship with a crappy girl, and the experience turned him into kind of a player. And now that girl wants him back for real, but he only wants one thing from her, and if they're going to get back into a relationship, he doesn't care to have it any other way than how it used to be: just falsities and sex.

    General Comment:The lyrics are definitely:
    'You wear your heart on your sleeve
    I threw mine to the sky'.

    My Interpretation:(PERHAPS)
    The song is about how people still have an attraction to their ex even if they lie or cheat.
    The part when he sings "You Don't Need This", is actually his subconscious telling him not to get attached again.
    The entire video being shot is white is stating "White Lies". However, lies are soon seen once you are able to see clearly.

    - Shes cheating on him with a guy whos cheating on another girl too.

    I put bodies into motion
    Get this skin out in the open
    Liars turn me on
    - He has had many realtionships in which a girl has cheated on him,
    THATS WHY he says liars turn me on.


    Bedspread bandit since '89
    - Hes good in the sheets (lol) kind of like
    in panic at the disco (lying is the most fun) song, he
    is better than any guys she will meet.

    You wear your heart on your sleeve
    And threw mine to the sky
    - Shes easy to get (heart on sleeve) and
    made him very hard to get since she cheated on him (he doesnt trust ppl anymore).


    Thats about it, alex isn't that hard to interperet.
    he speaks alot clearly and too the point.

    General Comment:I find it amusing that he says "Bedspread bandit since '89" when Singer was actually born in 1989 (as well as the other members, I think).

    General Comment:my favorite line is "liars turn me on"
    i love the cab, they are amazing.

    i think this song is about two people who were in a relationship, and it turned into a bunch of lies, and now he doesnt care about that, he just wants sex.

    or maybe that their relationship was based on lies and sex and nothing more.

    thats what i got from it, but who knows.
