Love is in the air and Valentine’s Day is upon us! So naturally we’re racking our brains for the best lyrics to put in our cards for everyone. Thankfully, we have a special skill at seeking out the best lyrics to get our point across. And when it comes to love and writing masterpieces about it, Fall Out Boy is one of the greats in the alternative world. We’ve gathered what we consider to be the best Fall Out Boy lyrics for your Valentine’s Day cards to help you expedite your process!
“You are the drought, and I’m the holy water you have been without.” – ‘Fourth Of July’ From American Beauty / American Psycho
If they aren’t telling us we’re the holy water to cure their drought, we don’t want it!! Don’t ask why our standards are this high when Pete Wentz‘s lyrics are right there.
“And when your stitch comes loose, I want to sleep on every piece of fuzz and stuffing that comes out of you.” – ‘HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON’T’ From MANIA
We’re obsessed with the idea of holding onto every piece of someone like the fuzz stuffed inside them. And sometimes that’s what love feels like, holding onto every little thing you can because it’s the little stuff that matters most at the end of the day.
“You’re a bottled star, the planets align. You’re just like Mars, you shine in the sky.” – ’27’ From Folie à Deux
If we could, we’d put every single word of Folie à Deux in here. But this is a line we distinctly remember hearing for the first time because it altered our brain chemistry forever. Can you blame us?
“I’m here to give you all of my love.” – ‘Just One Yesterday’ From Save Rock & Roll
There’s something so infectious about ‘Just One Yesterday,’ almost as infectious as the love of someone you can’t get enough of. We think about the people who heard this performed with Daisy Grenade at MSG every day. What’s it like to be the chosen one?
“If you were church, I’d get on my knees. Confess my love, I’d know where to be. My sanctuary, you’re holy to me.” – ‘Church’ From MANIA
We would show up to the church of Fall Out Boy every Sunday like loyal and well-behaved patrons. Consider these Fall Out Boy Valentine’s Day cards to be community service too!
“I spin for you like your favorite records used to.” – ‘Favorite Record’ From American Beauty / American Psycho
We also offer the entire phrase: “You are (changed from were) the song stuck in my head, every song that I’ve ever loved. Play it again and again and again, and you can get what you want but it’s never enough. And I spin for you like your favorite records used to.” Maybe put half on the front and the rest inside the card? We trust you to make the right choice for your creative vision.
“I will never ask you for anything except to dream sweet of me.” – ‘Heaven, Iowa’ From So Much For Stardust
What more could we ask of our lovers than to dream sweet of us?
“And I cast a spell over the West to make you think of me, the same way I think of you.” – ‘Bang The Doldrums’ from Infinity On High
What can we say about ‘Bang The Doldrums’ outside of simply: wow. This is truly one of the greatest songs in Fall Out Boys’ entire discography. And we’d be lying if we said we don’t scream these lyrics like we wrote them ourselves every time. “The tombstones were waiting, they were half-engraved. They knew it was over, just didn’t know the date.” Okay, so maybe every line in this song isn’t meant for your crush, but we all have ex-lovers too right?
“I’m yours ’til the Earth starts to crumble and the heavens roll away.” – ‘Bishops Knife Trick’ From MANIA
There’s something about a love that survives until the end of the world that our hearts swoon at. It’s what we all deserve, someone who would follow us to the ends of the earth. It’s the only kind of love we’ll accept at this point, which is why it’s going to end up in the card we make for our beloveds!
“You put the “fun” into dysfunction.” – ‘Hold Me Like A Grudge’ From So Much For Stardust
What we love ‘So Much’ about this one is how versatile it is. This could be for a friend, family member, co-worker, or anyone really! What would a list be without a multi-dimensional baddie like this one?
