I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song) Lyrics - Fall Out Boy

1 Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of best friends

2 We're the kids who feel like dead ends

3 And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses

4 I took a shot and didn't even come close

5 At trust and love and hope

6 And the poets are just kids who didn't make it

7 And never had it at all

8 And the record won't stop skipping

9 And the lies just won't stop slipping

10 And besides my reputation's on the line

11 We can fake it for the airwaves

12 Force our smiles, baby, half dead

13 From comparing myself to everyone else around me

14 Please put the doctor on the phone because I'm not making any sense

15 Blame everyone but me for this mess

16 And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart

17 We never seemed so far

18 I'm hopelessly hopeful, that you're just hopeless enough

19 But we never had it at all

20 And the record won't stop skipping

21 And the lies just won't stop slipping

22 And besides my reputation's on the line

23 We can fake it for the airwaves

24 Force our smiles, baby, half dead

25 From comparing myself to everyone else around me

26 To everyone else around me

27 Everyone else around me

28 Everyone else around me
