The Pros And Cons Of Breathing

What can I say? I'm slowly becoming a Fall Out Boy fan.
My sister started it. She was a Fall Out Boy fan first, and she's kinda got me hooked on some of their songs. Of course I was already well-versed in the sounds of Sugar, We're Goin' Down; Dance, Dance; and Thnks Fr Th Mmrs; it was nearly impossible to avoid those ones on mainstream radio when they were first released, and the latter is still fairly popular. However, it was my sister who introduced me to Fall Out Boy's less popular tracks, and I must say they arn't half bad. A little more "pop" then what I usually listen to, but hey, in case you couldn't tell, I listen to just about everything.
So now I have to say my favorite Fall Out Boy songs to date are the following, listed by album ...


Take This To Your Grave (2003)

- Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy?
- The Pros And Cons Of Breathing

From Under The Cork Tree (2005)

- Of All The Gin Joints In The World
- Dance, Dance
- Sugar, We're Goin' Down
- I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song)
- A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"
- Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part To Save The Scene And Stop Going To Shows)

Infinity On High (2007)

- Thnks Fr Th Mmrs
- This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race
- I've Got All This Ringing In My Ears And None On My Fingers (Truth Hurts Worse)


Yes, I realize that was quite the list, and that this post was meant to be a review for a song rather than a bunch of albums. Therefore, I'm going to move on and get to the point I was trying to make here. Of all the above listed songs, which one is my favorite?
Probably The Pros And Cons Of Breathing. Hence the title of this post. See how that works?
Anyway.
I really love The Pros And Cons Of Breathing, mostly because of the lyrics. Fall Out Boy's bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz writes some really amazing stuff. The melody of this song is great as well; just a really great track overall.

Sadly, Fall Out Boy hasn't filmed a music video for this song and chances are they never will. So, instead, you guys get this random video off YouTube. Incredibly boring, but lets you hear an amazing song.
So here it is; The Pros And Cons Of Breathing by Fall Out Boy.

The Pros And Cons Of Breathing
Fall Out Boy

Bury me standing under your window
With this cinder block in hand
Yeah, cause no one will ever feel like this again
And if I could move I’m sure it would only be to crawl back to you
I must have dragged my guts a block
They were gone by the time we…

Whoa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
You know that I could crush you with my voice
Whoa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
You know that I could crush you with my voice

Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me
Hide the details, I don’t want to know a thing

I hate the way you say my name like it’s something secret
My pen is the barrel of the gun, remind me which side you should be on

Whoa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
You know that could crush you with my voice
Whoa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
You know that I could crush you with my voice

Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me
Hide the details, I don’t want to know a thing

I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel
I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel

Whoa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate my…
Whoa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate my…

Whoa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
You know that I could crush you with my voice
Whoa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
You know that I could crush you with my voice
