Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Goin Down

This song has a hint of jealousy in it. The singer wants to be this girl's boyfriend, but he's not. "I'm just a notch in your bedpost but you're just a line in a song" indicates that he means nothing to her, and he's trying to make it seem like she means the same to him. But it's not working too well. The chorus is about their relationship failing miserably in "an earlier round" because they don't even have a relationship. "I'll be your number one with a bullet, a loaded God complex cock it and pull it" means that she might as well be killing him because he hurts so much.

Lyrics

Am I more than you bargained for yet?

I've been dying to tell you

Anything you want to hear

'Cause that's just who I am this week

Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum

I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song

(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart

And break a name

We're always sleeping in and sleeping

For the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're going down swinging

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're going down swinging

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

Is this more than you bargained for yet?

Oh, don't mind me, I'm watching

You two from the closet

Wishing to be the friction in your jeans

Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him?

I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song

(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart

And break a name

We're always sleeping in and sleeping

For the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're going down swinging

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're going down swinging

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

Down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're going down swinging

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)

And sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)

I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)

A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down (down, down)

Down, down (down, down)

We're going down, down (down, down)

A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)

And sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)

I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)

A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
