Since I did this with the last stuck-in-my-head song:

Comin' out of my cage
And I been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's havin' a smoke
And she's takin' a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Letting me go
Cos I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cos I'm Mister Brightside

[repeat all of above, because it's not about the lyrics, it's about the music]

I never
I never
I never
I never

Like I said, throwaway lyrics. I'm not even sure what the chorus is doing. But damn it's a killer (hah!) pop song.

o/`...how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss...o/`

John Mayer does (did? My subscription ran out.) a column on music in Esquire Magazine, and even though the singer in this band doesn't like him, Mayer still praised the quality of the writing in this song.
