Grand Theft Autumn Lyrics

Where is your boy tonight?
I hope, he is a gentleman..
And maybe he won't find out what I know:
You were the last good thing about this part of town..

When I wake up-
I'm willing to take my chances on
The hope I forget that you hate him...

    I think that this song happens to be about a guy that likes a girl, and that girl likes a jerk, and he wants to be that guy so that he can be with him
    ex.-you were the last good thing about this part of town
    -I'm willing to take my chances on the hope that you hate him more than you notice I wrote this for you
    -You need him. I could be him...

    I think that it is about a girl that he likes a lot, but she likes another guy who doesn't notice her and doesn't think of her at all. All the while he knows how great she is and how much he could fill that void that the other guy has left.

    I think that this song is about a girl that has a boyfriend who doesn't apreciate her and is never there for her. (Where is your boy tonight?) and she cheats on him with with FOB (maybe he won't find out what I know) and ends up regretting it. Afterwards FOB ends up liking her (You Need Him .. I could Be Him I could be an accident but I'm still tryin And that's more than I can say for him)

    The song is about a guy that will do anything to get the girl of his dreams. He talks crap about the guy she is currently with to get her to dump him. Then he sais good things about her to realize hes the one

    I think it's about a girl that Pete likes, but doesn't like him back.

    The guy she likes, is a fake pretty boy sort of guy, who isn't some one she wants to be with.
    ex.: "You Need Him .. I could Be Him
    I could be an accident but I'm still tryin
    And that's more than I can say for him"

    It's really about just letting her know that hes better than this other guy.
    Ex.: "Where is your boy tonight?
    I hope he is a gentleman
    maybe he won't find out what I know:
    You were the last good thing about this part of town"

    I think it's about the girl who cheated on him.

    I think that this song is about a desperate attempt of a guy that can't get a girl so he gets all defensive.
