"Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met...)" lyrics

"Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met...)"

[Spoken:]
Kids, you have to remember I'm up here conducting you for a reason. Watch me! Watch my fingers. OK?
Here we go!
Ready?
Watch me.
One, and two...
Ready? Go.

[French:]
Dès le premier jour
Ton parfum enivra, mon amour
Et dans ces instants
J'aimerais être comme toi par moments
Mais depuis ce jour
Je n'ai qu'un seul, et unique regret...
[English translation:
From the first day
Your perfume intoxicates me, my love
It is in these moments
I want to be like you at times
But since that day
I have a single regret]


My wing tips waltz across naive
Wood floors they creak
Innocently down the stairs

Drag melody
My percussive feet serve cobweb headaches as a
Matching set of marching clocks
The slumbering apparitions
That they've come to wake up

(do, do, do, do)

Here I am composing a burlesque
Out of where they rest their necks
Sunken in their splintered cradles
And ramshackle heads
They asked for it
As a girl

You have set your heart
On haunting me forever
From the start
It's never silent

Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing
That makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And that one regret is you

How does a heart love, if no one has noticed its presence
And where does it go?
Trembling hands play my heart like a drum
But the beat's gotten lost in the show

You have set your heart
On haunting me forever
From the start
It's never silent

Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing
That makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And I regret never letting you know!

Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing
That makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And that one regret is you

Mona Lisa pleased to please ya
(and that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa pleased to please ya
(and that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa pleased to please ya
(I've got just one)

The band came up with the idea of this song when they still were a quartet, but it wasn't included on the "Pretty. Odd." album because the band found it to be not appropriate for that album's concept. Spencer Smith explained to AOL, "That's the only idea we had from before we split. All we had was the music, and we could never figure out what to do with it. We loved it as a guitar and drum line, but we were able to figure it out, write a chorus for it and turn it into a song that I really love. We actually have a kids choir singing at the end of it, so that's just one song I'm totally proud of."
A demo version of "Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met...)" was included on the promotional mixtape "CitizensFOB Mixtape: Welcome to the New Administration" issued by Decaydance to draw attention to Fall Out Boy's fourth album "Folie à Deux" in 2008. Panic! At The Disco was credited as The Paul Revere Jumpsuit Apparatus. The song was planned to be a part of the album "Cricket and Clover" or "Cricked and Clover", which has never been released.
