Discover the story of the song > I Write Sins Not Tragedies – Panic! At The Disco

The song talks about the protagonist who overhears people talking about his partner being called a derogatory term. He tells them to close the door and handle the situation with poise and rationality. He then sarcastically suggests that the situation actually saved their marriage and calls for a toast. The chorus repeats his frustration with the people not closing the door and the need for handling difficult situations with composure.
