I always thought that "loose lips sink ships" meant that going around kissing and getting with people without it really meaning anything ("loose lips") got you into trouble ("sinks ships")... yes no??? I don't know, but either I think it fits better into the song that way anyway...

Maybe they used the expression from WWII and used it in the way above, to fit into the song as a metaphor.

Pete said at a fall out boy concert that it was about one night, one town and one girl.
He's obviously going to be right=]

This song - this may have already been said - is about (in my opinion) a guy who constantly finds himself in bad relationships in which the girl does not really love him back, but more pitties him - "put your ear to the speaker, choose love or sympathy, but never both, love never wanted me, but I took it anyway" - and after they where together, he see her cheating on him - "...through he key hole, I watched you dress, kiss, and tell, loose lips sinks ships..." - I really like that line, which I kinda think is saying that when you go around cheating on people, nobody ends up happy. In a way, I think that he has almost given up on finding real love and thinking things through - "To the love, I left my conscience pressed between the pages of the bible in the drawer, what did it ever do for me I say..." As well, he goes out and finds this girl even after knowing what she is and what she will do - he is so tired of being down over losing out that he doesn't care anymore.

I think this songs about succumbing to sexual feelings and foregoing love (I left my conscience pressed through the keyhole I watched you dress)

I think this song is about cheating on someone. Unlike other songs of theirs, the singer is being cheated on, he's the one cheating on someone else.

It's about a guy who hooks up with a girl in a hotel. Obviously, he wasnt thinking clearly, and later regrets his decision. " I left my consience pressed between the pages of the bible in the drawer."

As I said, he regrets his decision, and is afraid his girlfriend/wife/whatever, is going to find out. "Kiss and tell, loose lips sink ships."

I could be wrong, but that's what I got outta this song.
