This became more apparent when his wife filed for divorce and his music became harder than it had been and his lyrics became more personal and harsh. He played keys on one New Found Glory song and often joined them on stage during their Back to Basics tour in the spring of 2005. More recently, Dewees has announced playing keyboard on some of My Chemical Romance's new cd. When asked about "Reggie" he said that once the new MCR cd comes out, I will be touring with them and become a full blown member of MCR.
The fifth studio album titled Last Stop: Crappy Town was released June 17, 2008.
Where's Your Heart?
Reggie and the Full Effect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the one I'm breaking
Who's the boy
With the piercing in his tongue
Where's my love
It's the one I'm thinking
Who's that boy
Would it make a difference
To do it all again as a friend
Could we make it better
If we did it all again
And it still looks good to me
Wears that smirk
There's no time for asking
Who's the one
With the a-kin in his heart
Where's your heart
You're the one who's flaking
Never say
That I haven't even tried
Would it make a difference
To do it all again as your friend
Could we make it better
If we did it all again
And you still look good to me
(Put your hands in mine and you are mine)
Feel my hands there open
Put your hands in mine
(You'll know you're mine)
Take you away, show you the life
You'll ever see
(Tell me everything is fine, everything is fine)
Keep your eyes wide open
I can make them mine
(You'll know what I mean)
Everything's fine, don't be afraid
Where's you heart
It's the one I'm breaking
Who's the boy
With the piercing in his tongue
Where's my love
It's the one you're faking
Where's that boy,
With the shimmer in his eyes
Would it make a difference
To do it all again, as a friend
Could we make it better
If we did it all again
And it still looks good to me
Would it make a difference
To do it all again
And you still look good to me
The opening line, "Where's your heart, it's the one I'm breaking" sets the overall tone of the song as a broken-hearted, remorseful plea for forgiveness. The singer seems to be looking for answers and closure as they question the whereabouts of the other person's heart and the person they once knew. The line "Who's the boy with the piercing in his tongue" suggests that the singer is trying to move on, but can't seem to shake the image of their ex with someone new.
The chorus, with its repetitive questioning of "Would it make a difference to do it all again?" shows the singer's desperation for a second chance to make things right. They wonder if things could be better if they were to redo their past relationship as friends. The line "And it still looks good to me" portrays some nostalgia for their time together and the hope that maybe they could rekindle what was lost if given the chance.
The song concludes with the same question about the whereabouts of the other person's heart, revealing that despite trying to move on, the singer is still hanging on to the past and the love that was lost.
