Thnks Fr Th Mmrs Lyrics

I'm gonna make you bend and break
(It sent you to me without wait)
Say a prayer but let the good times roll
In case god doesn't show
(Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll)

And I want these words to make things right
But it's...

    Okay, to be perfectly honest, When I first heard this song I thought it was a "queer" song I appreciate y'all guys for clearing that up.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    I think the song is kind of gay. And Mach, If you look at the lyrics, you got the words wrong. Look at the lyrics and see why it has nothing to do with hockey.

    It's two people in a fight and he's saying I'm gonna make you bend and break and then saying be scared but fight back(say a prayer but let the good times roll in case god doesn't show)

    They were fighting because the one guy was with his girl friend on a blog so it was saying if that's all you got put your fingers back to the keys then it says one night and one more time saying he wants one more night with her and telling jer thanks for the memories and she was telling the other guy see he tastes like you only sweeter.

    Then it was I'm looking forward to the future but my eyesight it going bad like he wanted to do it more but he can't and his memories are the crystal ball. He wants to look into the future and stay with her but he couldn't he only could look back.

    He was going crazy he wanted out of his mind and he wanted her out of her clothes

    Its called Thnks Fr Th Mmrs because its in text speak, and as a joke to their record company, who asked them to shorten the names of their songs, I mean A Little Less Sixteen Candles A Little More Touch Me is a pretty long song name, and they have others equally as long

    Songwriters need to take care in what lyrics they choose, it can make a song take on a whole new meaning, "How did I taste" is the kind of insult you throw at someone who has "relations" with someone just after you. Or visa-versa if you are the unlucky one(seconds). Sounds to me like the singer was late to the party and got a bad taste in his mouth. Good song otherwise.

    Ok, so I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but in the music video for Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, Pete is shown sending a text message... maybe suggesting that he is sending a girl [?]thnks fr th mmrs.

    I totally thought this was about a gay guy too when I first listened to it!

    In fact my friend asked me what it was, she couldn't hear me, I shouted "hes gay", then I was kicked off the bus

    The song is about how he can't handle being in a comitted relationship and he's just in it for the "good times." the girl can pray for it to mean more, but to him it wont.

    He means well and doesn't want to hurt anyone, but he just wants the sex. when someone asks who he thinks he is, they should know that they're getting themselves into a "one night stand" he thanks her for the memories and wants to move on, but she's bitter and says "he tastes like you but sweeter". He tries to get past all the girls he's done, but its hard and the "crystal balls cloudy except for when you look into the past one night stand."

    He knows his reputation for just trying to get more girls, but he doesn't care and continues to "get out of my mind and get you out of those clothes" and that getting girls is easy when your a rock star.

    This song is definitely a confessional about an affair. The singer is talking to his girlfriend about how much he likes guys more than her. Just because "He tastes like you only sweeter" is in quotes doesn't mean that it's not a reference to the exact words he was telling her at the time. Basically, he's gone gay and now likes the taste from giving his boy toy a rim job more than going down on a woman.

    I think this song is about a guy, who had a one night stand with someone but later on has moral issues with it and is fighting a moral battle about why he feel it's wrong. And obviously it all happened in a hotel with someone he randomly met there. The only part I don't get is " he still tastes like you only sweeter" but maybe that's just FOB being weird.

    Well, Pete said "Who here's ever checked their bf/gs's cell phone, because they don't trust who they're talking to?" Then people screamed or whatever, and said, " this one's for you"
    Which would make sense with the whole text message thing with Thnx fr th mmrs

    I think the reason they took the vowels out was a reference to Brand New's "Th Dvl nd Gd r rgng nsd m"?

    Okay. listen.

    it is about chris guiterrez {HeyChris}

    Pete slept with chris' girlfriend.

    Chris posted a blog with "Who does he think he is?" (Hence the lyrics "Who does he think he is" if that's the worst you got better put your fingers back to the keys. The keys being keyboard. because it was a blog)

    Chris and pete grew up together ["My heart beats, in tick with, these kids that I grew up with" in grenade jumper.]

    "And I want these words to make things right, but its the wrongs that make the words come to life"
    Is enhansing the "page 6 lovers thing" where pete says he is sorry, but by admitting it he's hoping chris&Him will be friends again.

    <3 Keep l i/o ving.

    The song "Thnks fr th Mmrs" is about two lovers who have broken up, but still have sex and question whether their relationship has really died, or if it's just for their needs. The line "It tastes like you, but sweeter" (as "he tastes like you, only sweeter") is spoken by Julia Roberts to Clive Owen in the 2004 film Closer. This is another reference to the Wentz-Gutierrez love triangle.
