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
