So there you are,
And here I stand,
As far as I remember you weren't half bad.
Your bedroom behavior was never more then checkmarks on bedposts.
More I remember we never had.
Get me outta the rain, you get me out of my clothes.
Hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows.
Get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes.
Hope I don't make a sound, you hope that no one...
So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.
So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.
So don't explain
Cause I know exactly what your going to say.
Big words
Recycled phrases, and the bittersweet taste of other boys on your lips.
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.
Now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.
(Wanted it all, wanted it all)
Get me outta the rain, you get me out of my clothes.
Hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows.
So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.
So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.
Do you miss looking up from the floor at my face on a stage in a crowded room?
Well it's not the same.
I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces.
Downtown, looking down, down, looking over the crowd I hope you're out there. Look at me now.
Well it's not the same.
Just look at how we've changed.
So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.
So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.

When he says "You're bedroom behavior was never more than checkmarks on bedposts," he's saying that she was just another person he slept with. Like the phrase "Notch in your bedpost" where some people actually mark their beds to show how many people they have slept with. Of course, he's saying it out of hatred, because the girl cheated.
allegory | Reviewer: sara | 3/25/09
so it's agreed that this is most likely about a guy who's girl cheated on him.
don't take things so literal though; I think the "suck your so called pity" line just refers to him telling her not to feel sorry for him about what she did, not necessarily about fellatio.
he realizes that all she ever wanted was a hook up and he doesn't want to hear her excuses. probably he knew all along she was just in it for sex, and he's not too upset by the "taste of other boys on [her] tongue". those kind of relationships never last.
this song just brings some many memories back.I love it.
what's funny is that years after hearing this song, I've eventually become the Checkmarks girl..
meaning of the song...i think | Reviewer: alex1234 | 8/19/08
what i think the song is that he caught his g/f giving another guy a you know what i.e. "So suck your so called pity down.So take your cold, cold heart and drown. And dont forget to take deep breaths"
and that makes the most sense to me at least

ahh | Reviewer: christie | 7/5/07
this song is amazing. my favorite song by them definitely. and by the way, people, if you haven't seen them in concert, go see them. they're amazing. especially on this song. and i think rebecca is right too.
upon first hearing this song, i probably thought what everyone thought,what girl screwed him over so bad that he wants her to drown?
So I think, maybe this girl did him wrong.
Maybe she got him to cheat on a girlfriend
or maybe she just didn't care about anything but the sex.
I think that this song is about a girl that felt sorry for him, but he actually liked her, and didn't know.
So I think when he says
"So suck your so called pity down"
I think he is talking about, his.. you know. Junk.
