I Just Want You

Oh that's so wonderful! For better or for worse you do very much have to Fuck Around, in order to Find Out.

My fave album is Save Rock And Roll! It came out when I was in high school, and it was my first Fall Out Boy album, My best friend and I used to drive around listening to it! It was honestly my escape from conformity to the christian school I was going to and everything I was going through. My top 3 off that album is, Miss Missing You, The Phoenix, and The Mighty Fall.

I love this because I do feel like there's a solid difference between being tacky and thinking you're a super fancy person and snobby about it, and being like, "ya it's tacky and kinda cringe but it's fun and silly and everyone's having a good time so who cares what anyone else thinks!" Also I love how she sings, "gown shaped like a pastry," because it's so silly and you can feel just how scathing it is

I do love the specific irony in IFTYE where it's like, to say you forgot about someone, you kinda have to remember them. But at the same time like the poppy bouncy sound of this song really captures that feeling when you stop thinking about someone who's deeply hurt you, when that hurt isn't the main focus of your life anymore, and you feel like you've fully moved on. Sure there are those brief moments of remembering, but it's not as soul crushing as it used to be. And that is just so incredibly freeing!

Lyrics that hit me like a truck when I first heard them like oh my god. I felt like Taylor and Pete were directly speaking to me in this song. Like it doesn't matter how hurt you are or how many times you've tried, if you want it, you have to try again. Get knocked down 8 times, get up 9 times. And I just love that!

God I love Treacherous so much. Like she really is the perfect song. I've lived and breathed her. Been in that moment of feeling like I could stop at any time by choice, but I don't want to, but also I don't think I can stop. It's just so perfect. Knowing you're playing a dangerous game, but knowing that you have to play it out.

I love this lyric because like sometimes you really have to take a chance and you can't wait till it "feels" safe and you have to trust that even if you're not on solid ground, this is what you have to do. And maybe you'll stick the landing and maybe you'll fall flat on your face. But you have to ask yourself if the outcome, for better or for worse, is worth the cost. If never finding out at all is worth playing it safe. It's better to fuck around and find out than to never fuck around at all.

Glitch just perfectly captures that moment when you mentally switch to "we're just friends" to "woah, I don't want them like just a friend." Like it truly feels like it's not supposed to happen, and then it just does and that whole vibe shift is really just kind of world changing. Like even the way the backing the backing for the lyrics is so vibing where it's saying like, "this was not intended, we are just going with the flow of how things feel," and it's so perfect.

I LOVE the way that this specific line is like squeezed in there to really emphasize the anxiety that one feels in that last hour leading up to a date. Like constantly checking the time, making sure they haven't sent a cancelation text, and just mentally gearing up for like, "Okay, this is gonna happen, let's see where it goes...." like it's just so perfect
