| I love this song. It makes me happy. But this part really gives me shivers. Betty can’t quit Carving question marks in my wrist How come we’re so alone We waste away the days With nicotine and television samples From an era we hate to admit we embrace We fail to represent We fail to be content We fail at everything we ever even try to attempt and so the story goes As only betty knows It’s time to take control Hell thats my life. I can relate to this whole album. It is for real the soundtrack of my life... | |

| I hate it when people dig deep into sings for meaning which is most likely not there, but here's what i think. I think betty represents jaded scenester hipster chicks of the day, hence the hip retro name 'betty'. i dunno. but i fucking love that falsetto. | |

| I first heard them play a local show with Story of the Year, and these guys blew the headliner SOTY out of the water. They were so high energy, the keyboardist was amazing. I wish I had know about them sooner. This was one of the last songs they played, it was superb, they sounded excellent. | |

| I saw them 6/6 with Dashboard Confessional in Buffalooo and ohhh man they put on a GREAT show, it was amazing. After the show I got to talk to Jesse and Justin from the band, great guys. Definitely an awesome song... best line: "I’m a dreamer, no I’m not a vicious schemer " the whole thing's just cute | |

| oh man, i love this song. it's one i can't stop listening too. i'm totally jealous of people going to the mcs/hellogoodbye shows.. those are going to be off the hook, seriously. both bands have tons of energy in their music and are fun to listen to.. i can only imagine how they'll be live.. and together! "i rock too fast for love, i’m footloose in my velcro shoes" genius. | |

| This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Once I think I listened to it too much though, because I dreamt someone was carving question marks in my wrist...weird. | |

| I saw Motion City Soundtrack Friday night in Birch Hill with the All American Rejects and Flashlight Brown. All the bands were really good, but MCS kicked. It was so hott they were amazing, and this song was definately their best performance that night. | |

| I haven't heard a kickass song like this in a while. I went to see them with AAR too and they were awesome. Especially when the keyboardist jumps around on the keyboard.. | |

| Such a fun song to just sing along to and rock out with. You will be singing this song for days and days. I have heard great things about their live show and I hope they tour the West Coast again sometime soon. | |

| ok. no-one here has discussed the meaning of the song at all. i dont really wanna hear about your concert exploits cos they only make me jealous. so no mouthing off about concerts unless you heard/saw something interesting that we'd all like to hear about. i would like to know what 'haro sport' is. and anyones interpretations of the song cos most of it is just fun lryic but i believe there is more underlying motivations. write on. | |
