Say Anything
Retarded in Love
[Verse 1: Max Bemis]
They take advantage of him all of the time
Their fingers rape his cavities
Probing for a hidden cliché
He's a fruit that got in gravity's way
He's the first to tell you he's full of shit
Like that's half a compliment for men
Though he's waking up in puddles of piss
He marinates his metaphors in them

[Chorus: Max Bemis, Michael Auerbach, Chris Carrabba]
And in this moment
La, ladadadada, ladadadada, ladadadada
They'll be falling in love
La, ladadadada, ladadadada, ladadadada

[Verse 2: Max Bemis]
She takes photographs of people she knows
She brings out the best and worst in them
A goddess buried deep in the folds
Of her fractured self and the lies that they've told
She used to laugh at everything old
It was a joke that never aged a bit
But when they robbed her of her infinite smile
She said "Maybe I'll just play dead for a while"
[Chorus: Max Bemis, Michael Auerbach, Chris Carrabba]
And in this moment
La, ladadadada, ladadadada, ladadadada
They'll be falling in love
La, ladadadada, ladadadada, ladadadada

[Bridge: Max Bemis]
I'm right here and I must admit
I've been pining for you
You're my wish
When I touch myself, I am conjuring you
From fresh dirt. When we talk all night and the minutes are free
I just hope when I cast my spell you'll be falling for me

[Outro: Max Bemis, Coby Linder]
Because
Falling in love could be the first thing
Falling in love could be the worst thing
Falling in love, there's no rehearsing
Retarded in love
