Fall Out Boy - So Much (for) Stardust Lyrics
Love From The Other Side
Model house life meltdown
Still a modern dream let down
It kills me, you know I'm dying out here
What would you trade the pain for?
I'm not sure
We were a hammer to the statue of David
We were a painting you could never frame and
You were the sunshine of my lifetime
What would you trade the pain for?
This city always hangs a little bit lonely on me
Loose, like a kid playing pretend in his father's suit
I'd never go, I just want to be invited, oh
Got to give up
Get the feeling, get the feeling
Don't fight it, fight it
Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand
Love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand
Generation sleep, I'm falling in and out of love
I'm getting that tilted feeling out here
What would you trade the pain for?
I'm not sure
Nowhere left for us to go but heaven
Summer falling through our fingers again and
You were the sunshine of my lifetime
What would you trade the pain for?
We're told we gotta get ahead, yeah
No matter what it takes
But there's no way off the hamster wheel on this rat race
I'd never go, I just want to be invited, oh
Got to give up
Get the feeling, get the feeling
Don't fight it, fight it
Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand
Love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand
I saw you in a bright clear field
Hurricane heat in my head
The kind of pain you feel to get good in the end
Good in the end
Inscribed like stone and faded by the rain
"Give up what you love"
"Give up what you love, before it does you in"
Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand
Love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand
Sending my love
Sending my love

Heartbreak Feels So Good
No matter what they tell you
The future's up for grabs, no
No matter what they sell you
Is there a word for "bad miracle"?
Nobody said the road was endless
Nobody said the climb was friendless
But could we please pretend this
Won't end?
It was an uphill battle
But they didn't know, but they didn't know
We were gonna use the roads as a ramp to take off
We could cry a little, cry a lot
Don't stop dancing, don't dare stop
We'll cry later or cry now
You know it's heartbreak
We could dance our tears away
Emancipate ourselves
We'll cry later or cry now, but baby
Heartbreak feels so good (la-la-la-la-la)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
La-la-la-la-la
Heartbreak feels so good (la-la-la-la-la)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
La-la-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We said we'd never grow up
It's open season on blue moods
Light from a screen of messages
Unsent
It was an uphill battle
But they didn't know, but they didn't know
We were gonna use the roads as a ramp to take off
We could cry a little, cry a lot
Don't stop dancing, don't dare stop
We'll cry later or cry now
You know it's heartbreak
We could dance our tears away
Emancipate ourselves
We'll cry later or cry now, but baby
Heartbreak feels so good (la-la-la-la-la)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(La-la-la-la-la)
Heartbreak feels so good (la-la-la-la-la)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(La-la-la-la-la)
Heartbreak feels good (la-la-la-la-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(La-la-la-la-oh)
(Heartbreak feels good) it was an uphill battle
But they didn't know, no they didn't know
We were gonna use the roads as a ramp to take off
Then we could cry a little, cry a lot
Don't stop dancing, don't dare stop
We'll cry later or cry now
You know it's heartbreak
We could dance our tears away
Emancipate ourselves
We'll cry later or cry now, but baby
Heartbreak feels good
(La-la-la-la-la)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(La-la-la-la-la)
Heartbreak feels good (la-la-la-la-la)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(La-la-la-la-la)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Hold Me Like A Grudge
When you ask how I've been
I know you mean well, I know you mean well
Who am I dialing tonight? That's a bummer
Thaw out my freezer, burn feelings, for twenty summers
I'm just a cherub, riding comets through the night sky
Screaming at the stars like night lights
And I love my life, love my life
Running middle fingers through the red lights
And I guess I'm getting older, 'cause I'm less pissed
When I can't get onto the guest list
To the end of the world, the end of the world
Fever dream, tangerine sweat
When I get down, down
Silent killers are these years, coming like waves
(You put the "Fun," into dysfunction)
Hold me, hold me like a grudge
The world is always spinning and I can't keep up
Whoa-oh-oh, faster and faster
Can't do it on my own
Part-time soulmate, full-time problem, yeah
So, hold me like a grudge
Hold me like a grudge, yea-yeah
Hold me like grudge
Hold me like grudge
I guess somehow we made it back
And with a few dreams of ours still in tact
I am a diamond on the inside, just add the pressure
Know it's inside me, but I got no map, to my own treasure
I'm just a cherub, riding comets through the night sky
Screaming at the stars like night lights
And I love my life, love my life
Running middle fingers through the red lights
And I guess I'm getting bolder, 'cause I'm less pissed
We didn't make to your year-end best list
Not the end of the world, the end of the world
Fever dream, tangerine sweat
When I get down, down
Silent killers are these years, coming like waves
(You put the "Fun," into dysfunction)
Hold me, hold me like a grudge
The world is always spinning and I can't keep up
Whoa-oh-oh, faster and faster
Can't do it on my own
Part-time soulmate, full-time problem, yeah
So hold me like a grudge
Hold me like a grudge, yea-yeah
Hold me like grudge
Hold me like grudge
I thought I knew better, I thought it would get better
I figured somehow by now, I would have got it together
And if you put your, put your, heart in it, heart in it
Then we'll do more than just get by together
Yeah, call you up and demand you have no fun without me
I'm like a storm on the horizon, storm on the horizon
(You put the "Fun," into dysfunction)
Hold me, hold me like a grudge
The world is always spinning and I can't keep up
Whoa-oh-oh, faster and faster
Can't do it on my own
Part-time soulmate, full-time problem, yeah
Hold me like a grudge (no, oh, no)
Hold me like a grudge (hold me), yea-yeah
Hold me like grudge (hold me)
Hold me like grudge
Hold me like a
Hold me like grudge

Fake Out
Take a knife and cut through the darkness
Castle temp, red wine
But I make no plans and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken
Remember us just like this forever
But this can't last, won't last
So make no plans and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken
Do you laugh about me whenever I leave?
Or do I just need more therapy?
Love is in the air
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams
But it was all a fake out
And I don't care
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams
But it was all a fake out, fake out
My mood board is just pictures of you
But I'm not sad anymore
So make no plans and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken
But I didn't take the love when I had the chance
But I swear I'm not sad anymore
So make no plans and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken
Do you laugh about me whenever I leave?
Or do I still need more therapy?
Love is in the air
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams
But it was all a fake out
And I don't care
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams
But it was all a fake out, fake out
Oh-oh, we all started off as shiny dimes
But we all got flipped too many times
We did it for futures that never came
And for pasts that we're never gonna change
Love is in the air
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams
But it was all a fake out
And I don't care
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams
But it was all a fake out, fake out

Heaven Iowa
6AM, Mulholland Drive
Moonlight Sonata and I
First movement, you and I
And a screw top bottle of wine
I've unspooled on the floor
I feel so "A Star Is Born"
Kiss my cheek, baby, please
Would you read my eulogy?
I will never ask you for anything
Except to dream sweet of me
I will never ask you for anything
Except to dream sweet of me
Tell me when the party ends
Will you still love who I am?
I am
Scar-crossed lovers, forever
I'm checking myself out forever
I'm saving this all for later
Scar-crossed lovers, forever
Here we are untouched forever
I'm saving this all for later
Oh-oh
They don't know how much they'll miss
At least until you're gone like this
Talking to the mirror say, "Save your breath
Half your life you've been hooked on death"
Twice the dreams but half the love
Be careful what you bottle up
The chemistry is a mess, it seems
But me, I'm still a sunbeam
And I will never ask you for anything
Except to dream sweet of me
I will never ask you for anything
Except to dream sweet of me
Tell me when the party ends
Will you still love who I am?
I am
Scar-crossed lovers, forever
I'm checking myself out forever
I'm saving this all for later
Scar-crossed lovers, forever
Here we are untouched forever
I'm saving this all for later
Oh-oh
I closed my eyes inside of your darkness
And found your glow
Shake things up, shake things up
Shake things up, shake things up and see what comes
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Scar-crossed lovers, forever
I'm checking myself out forever
I'm saving this all for later
Scar-crossed lovers, forever
Here we are untouched forever
I'm saving this all for later
Scar-crossed lovers, forever
I'm checking myself out forever
I'm saving this all for later
Scar-crossed lovers, forever
Here we are untouched forever
I'm saving this all for later
Yeah-ah

So Good Right Now
I got this doom and gloom in my mind, yeah
I got this doom and gloom but I feel all right
I've got love in my heart
So let's sneak in from the cheap seats honey
And we'll drive until the engine just gives up
Feeling so good right now
Feeling so good right now
'Til we crash and burn somehow
Feeling so good right now, yeah
I know, I know I've made mistakes, yeah
I know, I know but at least they were mine to make
They were mine to make
In all of my wildest dreams
They just end up with you and me
So let's drive until the engine just gives out
Feeling so good right now
Feeling so good right now
'Til we crash and burn somehow
Feeling so good right now, yeah
We're drifting from the start, I ripped myself apart
I'll be whatever you need me to be, you need me to be
I cut myself down, cut myself down
To whatever you need me to be, you need me to be
Drifting from the start, I ripped myself apart
I'll be whatever you need me to be, you need me to be
I cut myself down, cut myself down
To whatever you need me
Oh, and in all of my wildest dreams
They just ended with you and me
So let's drive until the engine just gives out
Feeling so good right now
Feeling so good right now
'Til we crash and burn somehow
Feeling so good right now
Feeling so good right now
Feeling so good right now
'Til we crash and burn somehow
Feeling so good (so good) right now (so good, so good)
I know, I know I've made mistakes, yeah
I know, I know but at least they were mine to make, yeah

The Pink Seashell
Parents got divorced when I was, uh, five years old
And I saw my father about three times a year after that
And when he found out that he had cancer, he decided to
To bring me here and he gives me this big pink seashell
And he says to me, "Son, the answers are all inside of this"
And I'm all, "What?"
And then I realize, I realize that
The shell's empty, there's no point to any of this, it's all just a
A random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes
So I take pleasure in the detail
You know a, a Quarter Pounder with cheese
Those are good
The sky about ten minutes before it started to rain
A moment where your laughter becomes a cackle
And I sit back
And I ride my own melt

I Am My Own Muse
Here I am, not sure you should take a chance
I like playing dumb, letting you figure me out
But I was faded in my own defense
So drop a bomb on all the things we dreamed about
Smash all the guitars
'Til we see all the stars
Oh, got to throw this year away, we got to throw this year away like
A bad luck charm
Smash all the guitars
'Til we see all the stars
Oh, got to throw this year away, we got to throw this year away like
A bad luck charm
Trumpets bring the angels, but they never came
And no one let them in 'cause they didn't know my name
I know I keep my feelings so tucked away
Just another day spent hoping we don't fall apart
So drop a bomb on all the things we dreamed about
Smash all the guitars
'Til we see all the stars
Oh, got to throw this year away, we got to throw this year away like
A bad luck charm
Smash all the guitars
'Til we see all the stars
Oh, got to throw this year away, we got to throw this year away like
A bad luck charm
So let's twist the knife again
Twist the knife again like we did last summer
Let's twist the knife again, twist the knife again
I'm just trying to keep it together
But it gets a little harder when it never gets better
I'm trying to keep it together
To keep it together
Keep it together, no
Smash all the guitars
'Til we see all the stars
Oh, got to throw this year away, we got to throw this year away like
A bad luck charm
Smash all the guitars
'Til we see all the stars
Oh, got to throw this year away, we got to throw this year away like
A bad luck charm

Flu Game
I guess to you now, I'm just a face in the crowd
Oh God, kindly, please, would you kill me now?
Late at night in my room, lie awake, think of you
And all your little dooms
Last night I dreamt I still knew you
You
I carved out a place in this world for two
But it's empty without you
I've got all this love I've got to keep to myself
All this effort to make it look effortless
All this love I've got to keep to myself
All this effort to make it look effortless
Confront all the pain like a gift under the tree
Oh please, I can't be who you need me to be
I grind in the sunshine, grind in the rain
So real that I feel fake
Last night I dreamt I still knew you
You
I carved out a place in this world for two
But it's empty without you
I've got all this love I've got to keep to myself
All this effort to make it look effortless
Got all this love I've got to keep to myself
All this effort to make it look effortless
One day every candle's gotta run out of wax
One day no one will remember me when they look back
I can't stop, can't stop 'til we catch all your ears though
Somewhere between Mike Tyson and Van Gogh
You
You
I carved out a place in this world for two
But it's empty without you
I've got all this love I've got to keep to myself
All this effort to make it look effortless
Got all this love I've got to keep to myself, myself
All this effort to make it look effortless
All this effort to make it look effortless
All this effort to make it look effortless

Baby Annihilation
An alligator prince with crocodile tears, too many to count
Permanent head cold dreams, awash in your love falling in and out
Time is luck and I wish ours overlapped more or for longer
Orange leaves bore the ones falling off trees
The first time I took the mask off, just had another one on underneath
I'm just melted wax on a birthday cake
Another year fades away
Charcoal crushed, pixie fever, angel dust
Stuck in a wasteland we covered in glitter and broadcast
Just for a little serotonin
Self-sabotage at best, under your spell
But you know what they say, if you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself
This palace was crystal, but the world was a cruel joke
What is there between us, if not a little annihilation?

The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years)
I'm pretty sure as far as humans go
I am a hard, hard pill to swallow
And I know I'm not your intended dose
We're going low, low, low, low
So roll the highlights
Got too high life
Mix the
Low, low, low lights with the
Low, low, lowlifes
On the bright side
Got the wrong insides
Mix the
Low, low, low lights with the
Low, lowlifes
I spent
Ten years, ten years in a bit of chemical haze
And I miss the way that I felt
Nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing
Passed my old street, the house I grew up in
It breaks your heart but four of the Ramones are dead
I felt you at the beginning but needed you at the end
We're going low, low, low, low
So roll the highlights
Got too high life
Mix the
Low, low, low lights with the
Low, low, lowlifes
On the bright side
Got the wrong insides
Mix the
Low, low, low lights with the
Low, lowlifes
I spent
Ten years, ten years in a bit of chemical haze
And I miss the way that I felt
Nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing
Stop me if you have heard this all before
Too many times after too much alcohol
Oh-oh, but you don't know me anymore
We're going low, low, low, low
I spent
Ten years, ten years in a bit of chemical haze
And I miss the way that I felt
Ten years, ten years in a bit of chemical haze
And I miss the way that I felt
Nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing

What A Time To Be Alive
Sometimes you wonder if we're ever looking back
At a picture of 2019
And saying, "That's the way, the world, it used to be
Before our dreams started bursting at the seams"
We're out here and we're ready
We're here and we're ready
To livestream the apocalypse
I don't care if it's pretty
The view's so pretty
From the deck of a sinking ship
Yeah, oh
'Cause everything is lit except my serotonin, yeah
Everything is lit but my lightning bolt brain
Everything is lit
But baby, please, I just need someone to hold me
Even though you don't even know me
Oh, I'm going neon in the night time
Oh, what a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
They say that I should try meditation
But I don't want to be with my own thoughts (own thoughts)
It never felt that much like medication
And I just want to be your cherry on top
We're out here and we're ready
We're here and we're ready
To livestream the apocalypse
And I'm going on and on and on
Make me like a charm on your necklace
Oh, your necklace
Oh, 'cause everything is lit except my serotonin, yeah
Everything is lit but my lightning bolt brain
Everything is lit
But baby, please, I just need someone to hold me
Even though you don't even know me
Oh, I'm going neon in the night time
Oh, what a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
To be alive
When, when, when I said, "Leave me alone"
This isn't quite what I meant
I got the quarantine blues
Bad news, what's left?
So it seems the vulture's getting too full to fly
Oh (oh), what a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
(What a time, what a time to be alive) what a time to be alive
(What a time, what a time to be alive) what a time to be alive
(What a time, what a time to be alive) what a time to be alive
Sometimes you wonder if we're ever looking back

So Much (For) Stardust
I'm in a winter mood, dreaming of spring now
I'm burning myself down
Burning myself down, burning
I feel like something bad has stretched out over and over again
Until I'm creased and I'm about to break down the middle
Split me right down the middle, right, right down the middle, yeah
The stars are the same as ever
I don't have the guts to keep it together
Stuck in the permafrost
Stuck in the permafrost
Life is just a game, maybe
I'm stuck in a lonely loop, my baby
So much for stardust
We thought we had it all, thought we had it all
Thought we had it all, thought we had it all, thought we had it all
So much for stardust
We thought we had it all, thought we had it all
Thought we had it all, thought we had it all, thought we had it all
I need the sound of crowds or I can't fall asleep at night
I can't take my thoughts and I
Can't take my thoughts and I am awake
Another year of possibilities left unwrapped
Like it's the day right after Christmas past
And I'm pretty positive my pain isn't cool enough, pain isn't cool enough
Like a sledgehammer to a disco ball
Crushing all my low, low, low, low, ache it 'til you make it
Ache it 'til you make it
I think I've been going through it
And I've been putting your name to it
So much for stardust
We thought we had it all, thought we had it all
Thought we had it all, thought we had it all, thought we had it all
So much for stardust
We thought we had it all, thought we had it all
Thought we had it all, thought we had it all, thought we had it all
In another life you were my babe
In another life you were the sunshine of my lifetime
What would trade the pain for? I'm not sure
In another life you were my babe
In another life you were the sunshine of my lifetime
What would trade the pain for? I'm not sure
I used to be a real go-getter
I used to think it'd all get better
So much for stardust
We thought we had it all, thought we had it all
Thought we had it all, thought we had it all, thought we had it all
So much for stardust
We thought we had it all, thought we had it all
Thought we had it all, thought we had it all, thought we had it all
So much for stardust
We thought we had it all, thought we had it all
Thought we had it all, thought we had it all, thought we had it all
So much for stardust
We thought we had it all, thought we had it all
Thought we had it all, thought we had it all, thought we had it all
(So much for stardust)
We thought we had it all, thought we had it all
Thought we had it all, thought we had it all, thought we had it all
(So much for stardust)
So we thought we had it all, thought we had it all
Thought we had it all (thought we had it all, thought we had it all)
(So much for stardust)
(Thought we had it all, thought we had it all)
