The (Shipped) Gold Standard Lyrics

Sometimes I wanna quit the song and become an accountant now
But I'm no good at math and besides the dollar is down
Plant palm trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold
I gotta feel the wind chill again before I get old
I wanna scream I love...

    I'd really like to know what pete wentz means when he says "the time my dad caught me a horseshoe crab and i asked him if throwin it back into the sea would bring our luck back". Could he be saying that sarcastically cause horse shoe crabs are rare?

    [Sometimes I wanna quit the song and become an accountant now
    But I'm no good at math and besides the dollar is down] sort of speaks for itself
    [Plant palm trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold
    I gotta feel the wind chill again before I get old] he wants to have fun like before he gets old and he cant anymore
    [I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs
    But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me] he doesnt want anyone to know that he loves this person but he loves them dearly

    [You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
    Before it all becomes the same old song] basically all of their songs are abut their problems and theyre blaming it on other people and the world.
    [As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town
    And get new passports and get get get get get out now] they wanna leave this town, they hate it

    [All the yes men said no comment] people who always have something to say are speechless
    [My mouth got going wrong way and all the calls started to roll in] he cant stop what he has to say and now people are judging him
    [The time my dad caught me a horse shoe crab
    And I asked him if throwing it back
    Into the sea would bring our luck back] probably when he was a little kid, he caught a crab and thats bad luck so when he gives it back will he get good luck?
    [I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs
    But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me
    You can only blame your problems on my world for so long
    Before it all becomes the same old song
    As soon as we hit the hospital, I know we're gonna leave this town
    And get new passports get out now
    Whooo!] same as before

    [Tell that boy I'll leave you alone
    Like a stove, I'll turn my love down
    Supra and The Prophet are both in the business of souls] no clue


    [I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs
    But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me
    Whoah I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs
    But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

    You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
    Before it all becomes the same old song
    As soon as we hit the hospital
    I know we're gonna leave this town
    (I know we're gonna leave this town)
    And get new passports and get get get get get out ..
    Get get get get get out now!] same
