this post is for a very niche audience but. since aftg is set in 2006/2007 and andrew is obviously into alternative music, it is very plausible that he would be familiar with fall out boyâs first three studio albums: take this to your grave (2003), from under the cork tree (2005), and infinity on high (2007). sooo basically fall out boy fan!andrew is canon to me and here are some song lyrics i think he would resonate with/relate to. most of them with cass or neil in mind. iâm sorry.
from âdead on arrivalâ - hope this is the last time / cause iâd never say no to you / this conversationâs been dead on arrival / thereâs no way to talk to you / this conversationâs been dead on arrival
from âthe pros and cons of breathingâ - i want to hate you half as much as i hate myself / know that i could crush you with my voice / stood on my roof and tried to see you / forgetting about me
from âthe patron saint of liars and fakesâ - and when it all goes to hell / will you be able to tell me âsorryâ with a straight face?
from âour lawyer made us change the name of this song so we wouldnât get suedâ - we are bad news / we will leave you high and dry / itâs not worth the hearing youâll lose / itâs just past eight and i am feeling young and reckless / the ribbon on my wrist says âdo not open before christmasâ
from âof all the gin joints in the worldâ - i used to waste my time dreaming of being alive / (now i only waste it dreaming of you)
from ânobody puts baby in the cornerâ - so wear me like a locket around your throat / iâll weigh you down, iâll watch you choke / you look so good in blue / you look so good in blue
from âchampagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friendsâ - you are a getaway car, a rush of blood to the head / but me, iâm just the covers on top of your bed / you steer in a rear view mirror, you make my head swim / but iâll keep you warm and wonât ask you where youâve been
from âthrillerâ - so long live the car crash hearts / cry on the couch, all the poets come to life / fix me in 45
from âthe carpal tunnel of loveâ - got postcards from my younger selves saying howâve you been / we mightâve said goodbyes just a little too soon
from âbang the doldrumsâ - the tombstones were waiting / they were half-engraved / they knew it was over / just didnât know the date
from âyouâre crashing but youâre no waveâ - and everyoneâs looking for relief / united states verses disbelief / âŚ. / case open, case shut / but you could pay to close it like a casket / baby boy canât lift his headache head / isnât it tragic?
from âiâve got all this ringing in my ears and none in my fingersâ - the truth hurts worse / than anything i could bring myself to do to you
