That is an awesome song! I looked up the words too that and it made me even more confused!! But who cares... good song.. ok so I looked it up cause you got me thinking... here it is
This is a very cleverly writen song both lyrically and musically. The lyrics speak of a young man who clearly thinks he has a girlfriend, who obviously had a one night stand with him, and that was all she wanted or ended up concluding after the one time. The young man knows this, but sings about how he can be all she wants or needs, (Number one with a bullet), but also realizes that it is a lost cause, (I'm just a notch on your bedpost), but then he wants to hurt her with his words as well, (But you're just a line in a song). He also seems to think she has an attitude problem apparently thinking she thinks she is high and mighty, (A loaded God complex,) then he relents and wishes to be the one she is sleeping with, (Wishing to be the friction in her jeans, Isn't it messed up, how I'm just dying to be him?) Then he appears to want her to end his suffering, (Cock it and pull it,). He refers to the the fact that they are sleeping in but for the wrong team, this I feel he is saying she is sleeping as he is, but not with him. The back ground vocals chime in during the chorus that he should take aim at himself, apparently end the suffering himself since she won't. Then in the next refrain begs her to take back what she said, in an futile attemt to try to get her to take him back as well. All in all this song is a classic boy meets girl and loses girl and pines after her until she either takes him back or he moves on.

To me. This song isn't about a girl at all.
(When I put you I am referring to the audience of Fall Out Boy)
The world seems to have low expectations for me
I wanted to do what you wanted me to do
Because I change moods constantly
I take my time, even with important things
I'll be something that is here today and gone tomorrow
But you get recognition in a song.
Things are always backwards
I'm always doing everything wrong
We'll be one of the first ones to be lost in Hollywood
At first you'll love me
You'll forget me faster than I realize
The world seems to have low expectations for me
Hollywood doesn't mind me watching
but I could never do what they do
It's messed up how I want this so bad
I'll be something that is here today and gone tomorrow
But you get recognition in a song.
Things are always backwards
I'm always doing everything wrong
Hope this helps. This is just the way I see it. Just look at a line from the song and then my line m is what I think it means.
