"Screaming Infidelities" Lyrics

4.6 / 5
Song updated, review now!
I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast
Is taking me home

I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
But you're not alone, and you're not discreet
Make sure I know who's taking you home.

I'm reading your note over again
And there's not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it
I will love you always and forever

Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone
Making out.

I'm missing your laugh
How did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you're pretending.

I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
and I am alone
In my defeat I wish I knew you were safely at home

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.

Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
but as for me, I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone
Making out.

Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.

About"Screaming Infidelities" is the first single from Dashboard Confessional's 2001 album The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most. The song was written by lead singer Chris Carrabba. It was originally recorded for the band's 2000 debut album, The Swiss Army Romance.

A live version of the song appears on the band's 2002 MTV Unplugged 2.0 album. The song was also featured in the 2002 MTV movie, Wasted.

"Screaming Infidelities" is considered the band's breakout single. The song peaked at #22 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in May 2002.

A music video for the song was released in 2002 and was directed by Maureen Egan and Matthew Barry. The video won the MTV2 award at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, beating out Norah Jones, The Strokes, Musiq Soulchild, The Hives, and Nappy Roots. Carrabba said that winning the award ranked among his biggest accomplishments in a year marked by crowning achievements.

Alternative Press said of the song: "CC's manifestation of honest emotion remains far more sincere than the sub-par mewling of wafer-heads currently wasting oxygen in independently owned coffeehouses."
