Okay I take back what I said earlier in the thread. The parts I thought Tom would struggle with he nailed, and the only thing that didn’t work...
That makes sense, but then what would the preceding line to be referring to (“don’t wake me up before you leave”)? I suppose it’s important to...
All I’m saying is it would be weird to write a song about songwriting that includes lines like “is there the slightest trace of what you once...
Tom’s voice has a much lighter tone that I think will take away from the force of it. I agree that it’s a very classic Blink line compositionally,...

This is exactly how I feel. Petals for Armor almost seems shallow in comparison to it.
I find this discussion about what sounds like old FOB really weird. Fall Out Boy have always been a band with semi-witty lyrics, influenced by...
