I Write Sins Not Tragedies Lyrics
as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words.
(I love you, I love you too)
"What a beautiful wedding!",
"What a beautiful wedding! says a...
-
The character being vocalized is the groom and everything sung is centered on him.
In the beginning, he is walking around the church before the wedding with the common pre-wedding jitters.
"As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor"
He then hears a passing conversation between a bridesmaid and a waiter in another room with the door cracked. The two of them discussing the general wedding and then the truth comes out about who the bride really is as the bridesmaid, one usually very close to the bride, spills it.
"'What a beautiful wedding!', 'What a beautiful wedding!' says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
'And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore.'"
The groom bursts into the room, having just over-heard this and simply thinking it would have been easier to have just not over-heard it.
"I chime in with a 'Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!'"
But then the groom begins to get a grip on the situation and begins thinking things out and trying to calm himself.
"No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality."
So he thinks along on this, and begins to become a bit bitter, cynical, and sarcastic. The main twist being the sudden epiphany illustrated by the blatantly placed "...oh" He realizes that "the marriage" is saved because now that he knows this, they won't become married, she can't cheat on him, and thus there will never be a divorce. Thus it is "saved."
"No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of...oh.
Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for, a toast so, pour the champagne."
The lines:
"I chime in 'Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!'
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality."
Are repeated over and over again because that's what the entire message is based around. If that part hadn't occurred, the marriage would have proceeded, the bride would have probably cheated, and they would have been divorced. Thus the line illustrates the falseness and immorality of an insincere matrimony. -

If you have actually read the interview with brendon WHO ACTUALLY SINGS!!! some person seemed to think that brent wilson is the singer when actually he is the BASS PLAYER.
Anyway Brendon is saying how his character is the groom's conscience. The groom is trying to deny how slutty his future wife is. He overhears what the waitor and the bridesmaid sais but he tries to ignor it. The conscience (Brendon) is trying to get him to realise that she is a slut and "it's much better to face these kind of things with a sense of poise and rationality" instead of denying it all.
so basically brendon is the grooms consience and just tried to get the groom to admit that his wife is a slut who will just end up hurting him.
AND FOR THE RECORD BRENT IS THE BASS PLAYER
BRENDON IS THE SINGER!!!!!!!! -
I believe that this song is part of the song trilogy with Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off and but its better if you do. In Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off the guy is obviously talking about a girl who cheated on him and he refuses to take her back In but its better if you do he goes to the strip club where he really would rather not be but he meets a stripper who he falls in love with and decides to marry in I write sins not tragedies ("And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore.") He is angry that people would say stuff like that at his wedding and asks them to keep their opinions to themselves (I'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!")

I think that the guy pacing the pews is an ex fiancee of the bride so he goes to her wedding to carsh it... at the end of the vidio the groom is wearing the same outfit as the gy pacing the pews
-
I agree totally with no. 14 comment and I think that he is back with the girl from "lying is the most fun a girl an get..." and then that's it. If you think it out you kind of just kind of look at the song for just wut it says. U kno?

It seems so simple... There is a rumor going around the wedding that the bride is a whore. In the video, the groom soon discovers it for himself... and he says 'our marriage is saved' because he's glad he didn't end up in a relationship with a woman who would break his heart by fooling around...
-
The third and final chapter in the trilogy of the latter, also proven by the fact that the latter song leads into it. It's stating that the groom got back together with the chick with the fidelity issues, and they are getting married. He's pacing around anxiously and overhears the conversation with the bridesmaid and the waiter and gets pissed and says ever heard of closing the goddamn door. The bridesmaid states it's better to face the issues head on rather than have it destroy the marriage later. The video illustrates the bride still proving to be unfaithful by making out with the mime at the end of the song.

Well, my thoughts are that the waiter walks past the bride and the lover and "chimes" in with a .."haven't you people ever heard of closing a god damn door.." He thinks he should tell the groom..but instead acts with poise and rationality..and takes her to repent of her sins before she marries.."so technically..thier marriage is saved"...OH welll..probabli not right..but it's different..LoL

I think that this song is wonderful and is taken from the perspective of the groom hearing the waiter calling his wife a whore and then begins to believe that she is a whore

I just went on a website and on a VIDEO Brendon HIMSELF sais that the person he plays is the grooms conscience! Go on the website "www.fueledbyramen.com/adam/mtv/panic.mov" wow this really cleares things up. So when they say "I'd chime in with a haven't you people ever heard of closing a godamn door NO, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality" It's really the grooms conciance telling him that they (the bridesmaid and waiter) could be a bit more Quiet and then he tells himself that he should face these things head on("No, it's much better to face these kindsof things with a sence of poise and rationality"). Brendon also says that the grooms conciance is telling him that this girls not the one for him and that the brides family is wack-o. Doesn't this really clear things up, especially the music video. Wow...this is so-o awesome!

I think the first one is perfect except for two things.
First of all the singer (Brent Willson) does NOT say "I chime in with a haven't you ppl ever heard of closing a godamn door" If you LISTEN CLOSLY you realize that he says "I'D chime in with a haven't you ppl ever heard of closing a godamn door" Secondly....it's NOT the bride who sais "NO, it's much beter to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality" it is the singer (wich I have no clue what person he is supposed to represent) who sais that..........seeeeeeeeeeee!!....now is when it all comes together.... He is ABOUT to "chime in"(bust through the church doors) and scream "Havent you ppl ever heard of closing a godamn door!" BUT...he stops himself and tells himself (probably in his head) wait that it's much better to face thesekinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality" Basically telling himself that...............wait a second (just so you know this has absolutly nothing to do with the song) I just screwed up on somthing bigtime.........darnit...screw this...furget everything I just told you (darnit this really sucks) -
it's about the guy singing hears something he dosen't want to hear. That why he sing [ I chimed in haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door]and the bride cheats with a the best man[ or something]
