hOOOOO BOY. LEZ GO.

I wrote a goodbye note
In lipstick on your arm when you passed out
I couldn't bring myself to call
Except to call it quits

Pete has to leave the relationship because maybe the couldn't hide it anymore or warped tour was ending.

Best friends
Ex friends till the end
Better off as lovers
And not the other way around

Pete and Mikey were and are best friends then they were ex friends because they were lovers and they liked it that way

Racing through the city
Windows down in the back of yellow checkered cars

This line and the first line correspond to one of Pete's live journals: "wrote you a goodbye note (you just wrote me off) on your arm when you passed out. racing through the city in the back of yellow checkered cars... sneaking through your window instead of out. the way you hold a cigarette cause you don't know what to do with your hands when we're this close"

This is a love song in my own way
Happily ever after below the waist

Pete once said: "I'm gay above the waist." This line says Mikey was the exception.
