I can barely move, I can barely see where we're going now.
The road is washed out,
From the river that flooded just north of town.
We'll stick, stick, stick, stick to the plan we laid out,
But we know the saying.
The best, best, best, best plans of both Mice and Men,
Can go terribly wrong and probably will.
So please nobody speaks,
Nobody get any smart ideas.
If we don't have any heroics,
We may just get out of here,
And home to your families by dinner time safely and soundly, sleeping.
'Cause we don't want trouble,
And we'll take what we came for and we'll leave quiet.
Or maybe we will tear you up,
Take what you love and burn it down and burn it down.
Nobody moves, nobody moves and no one gets hurt.
If nobody opens their mouth, we have nothing to worry about.
We'll keep, keep, keep, keep you alive 'cause we always need bargaining chips.
"For their lives we will trade: "You will make your getaway."
We'll keep, keep, keep, keep you alive ?cause you're pretty,
And we need something to look at while we,
Tear you up, take what you love,
And burn it down, and burn it down.
You swear to build, we swear to come and burn it down and burn it down.
Weighing the cost of the love we made. (Measure again.)
Yeah.
Feeling the weight of the bonds we break. (We'll break them again.)
Yeah
Raiding the hall,
And sinking our teeth into....
Break all the locks without the combinations.
I know where you hid it, I'll consider it mine.
Went to the crowns without a planning of feeling.
And keep me alert till the next bout of time, yeah.
Please cut me up.
Cut me up,
Honey and make me the lover you wanted,
When you were young and asleep.
I'm fine when you're here.
Pop my cork from the bottle.
(The lover you wanted while you waited so long.)
Weighing the cost of the love we made. (Measure again.)
Yeah.
Feeling the weight of the bonds we break. (We'll break them again.)
Yeah.
Weighing the cost of the love we made. (Measure again.)
Yeah.
Feeling the weight of the bonds we break. (We'll break them again.)
Yeah.
Untitled 6 Lyrics – Brand New
Well I lost my taste for the company of airports and cars.
We flew through the year and avoided the dust and the rock.
We stood in the way of the tank till we bored and we stopped.
So never show doubt in your hand till you know what they got.
Touch me or don't.
Just let me know,
Where you've been.
Well drop me a line with a hook and some raw bleeding bait.
(One, two, three, four.)
Well I am uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake.
(Five, six, seven, eight.)
Shimmering under the moon made of anger and hate.
I was the one who was always repeating it.
Shimmering like a penny out of reach in the subway grate.
(Shimmering like a coin kept safe away, you'll never listen to anything.)
Touch me or don't.
Just let me know,
Where you've been.
Leave it alone, I'm sure there's someone who knows,
Where you've been.
We flew through the year and avoided the dust and the rock.
We stood in the way of the tank till we bored and we stopped.
So never show doubt in your hand till you know what they got.
Touch me or don't.
Just let me know,
Where you've been.
Well drop me a line with a hook and some raw bleeding bait.
(One, two, three, four.)
Well I am uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake.
(Five, six, seven, eight.)
Shimmering under the moon made of anger and hate.
I was the one who was always repeating it.
Shimmering like a penny out of reach in the subway grate.
(Shimmering like a coin kept safe away, you'll never listen to anything.)
Touch me or don't.
Just let me know,
Where you've been.
Leave it alone, I'm sure there's someone who knows,
Where you've been.
Untitled 7 Lyrics – Brand New
Well take it easy, tigers in the cage,
Pacing on our pads, and waiting,
For the time to come in reverie.
Our lazy bones ache for our dowry.
Can't hold on to the thrill.
So I hope you find your will to follow through.
What we invented, I am now ending.
Hold on to who you love.
We are tryin' to blow like dust since we were young.
What we invented, I am now ending.
The closest thing we had to royalty,
A chance to break our parents' pattern.
You chose to keep your teenage tragedy,
In lieu of their romantic pallet.
Play tender like a new born baby would.
Play tender to the night is over.
I'm leaving you to nurture cherished wounds,
And care for it just like your lover, yeah.
Can't hold on to the thrill.
So I hope you find your will to follow through.
What we invented, I am now ending.
Hold on to who you love.
We are tryin' to blow like dust since we were young.
What we invented, I am now ending.
Can't hold on to the thrill.
So I hope you find your will to follow through.
What we invented, I am now ending.
Hold on to who you love.
We are tryin' to blow like dust since we were young.
The morning's over, the day is in full swing.
Pacing on our pads, and waiting,
For the time to come in reverie.
Our lazy bones ache for our dowry.
Can't hold on to the thrill.
So I hope you find your will to follow through.

Hold on to who you love.

Untitled 8 Lyrics – Brand New
Losing all my friends.

Slipping out the back.

Summer skin,
Found another lover.
Tell him straight, call him up again.
I'll call him up again, yeah.
Call him up again.
Tying both your shoes and,
Looking past the ocean for the signal.
Waiting for a bottle,
In the open water.
They don't send you letters.
They dont' telephone you.
They don't send you letters,
But you're waiting for them.
You write him, yeah.

Untitled 9 Lyrics – Brand New
Please say you'll come alone tonight.
Please sing the words we love.
Don't say that you forgot them.
Don't keep the hand we've come to hold.
I know you want to untie this rope and let it go.
Please pose my skeletal remains.
Give them a working pen,
And I will live forever.
Please let them love me though I fade.
I know you want to, I know you want to.
I know you want to run away.
We're finding our own tonight.
My signal spikes when sorrows come.
They come on battalions.
We're burning our own tonight.
A little light to keep it on.
Our own battalion.
Please keep the sounds from running out.
Please let our steps fall soft.
Keep them from hearing our talk.
Please let some hope come with the day.
I know you want to, I know you want to.
I know you want to run away.
We're finding our own tonight.
My signal spikes when sorrows come.
They come on battalions.
We're burning our own tonight.
A little light to keep it on.
Our own battalion.
I know you want to, I know you want to.
I know you want to run away.
And so we watch the time we keep.
And you know that I am swift.
You know that I am quick.
You know that I am fast asleep.
We're finding our own tonight.
My signal spikes when sorrows come.
They come on battalions.
We're burning our own tonight.
A little light to keep it on.
Our own battalion.
Please sing the words we love.
Don't say that you forgot them.
Don't keep the hand we've come to hold.
I know you want to untie this rope and let it go.

And I will live forever.
Please let them love me though I fade.
I know you want to, I know you want to.
I know you want to run away.
We're finding our own tonight.
My signal spikes when sorrows come.
They come on battalions.
We're burning our own tonight.
A little light to keep it on.
Our own battalion.
Please keep the sounds from running out.
Please let our steps fall soft.
Keep them from hearing our talk.
Please let some hope come with the day.
I know you want to, I know you want to.
I know you want to run away.
We're finding our own tonight.
My signal spikes when sorrows come.
They come on battalions.
We're burning our own tonight.

Tautou Lyrics – Brand New
I'm sinking like a stone in the sea. I'm burning like a bridge for your body.
Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades Lyrics – Brand New
Keep the noise low.
She doesn't wanna blow it.
Shaking head to toe
while your left hand does "the show me around."
Quickens your heartbeat.
It beats me straight into the ground.
You don't recover from a night like this.
A victim, still lying in bed, completely motionless.
A hand moves in the dark to a zipper.
Hear a boy bracing tight against sheets
barely whisper, "This is so messed up."
Upon arrival the guests had all stared.
Dripping wet and clearly depressed,
he'd headed straight for the stairs.
No longer cool, but a boy in a stitch,
unprepared for a life full of lies and failing relationships.
(Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.)
He keeps his hands low.
He doesn't wanna blow it.
He's wet from head to toe and
his eyes give her the up and the down.
His stomach turns and he thinks of throwing up.
But the body on the bed beckons forward
and he starts growing up.
The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.
She hits the lights.
This doesn't seem quite fair.
Despite everything he learned from his friends,
he doesn't feel so prepared.
She's breathing quiet and smooth.
He's gasping for air.
"This is the first and last time," he says.
She fakes a smile and presses her hips into his.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
He's holding back from telling her
exactly what it really feels like.
He is the lamb, she is the slaughter.
She's moving way too fast and all he wanted was to hold her.
Nothing that he tells her is really having an effect.
He whispers that he loves her,
but she's probably only looking for se-...
(Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.)
So much more than he could ever give.
A life free of lies and a meaningful relationship.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
He waits for it to end
and for the aching in his guts to subside.
The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.
Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.
The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.
[Note: These are the lyrics to the album version of the song.
There is also a different version where chorus goes as:
"The people, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to settle.
Die young and save yourself.
They take all the taste out.
It used to be the reason that we're even, now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself."]

I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Light Lyrics – Brand New
The time has come for colds and overcoats.
We're quiet on the ride,
we're all just waiting to get home.
Another week away, my greatest fear.
I need the smell of summer,
I need its noises in my ears.
If looks could really kill,
then my profession would be staring.
Please know we do this cause we care
and not for the thrill.
Collect calls to home
to tell them that I realize
that everyone who lives will someday die
and die alone.
And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
No we won't let you in.
You win, you win, you win.
I wrote more postcards than hooks.
I read more maps than books.
Feel like every chance to leave
is another chance I should have took.
Every minute is a mile.
I've never felt so hollow.
I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews
and empty aisles.
My secrets for a buck.
Watch me as I cut myself wide open
on this stage. Yes, I am paid
to spill my guts. I won't see home till spring.
Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic,
but I am paid to make girls panic
while I sing.
And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
No we won't let you in.
And we won't let you in.
We don't want what isn't ours.
We won't let you in.
You win, you win, you win.
And the coastline is quiet.
While we're quietly losing control.
And we're silent but sure
we inventened the cure
that will wash out my memories of her.
"The harpoon is loaded. The cage is lowered.
The water is red."
Like you, like you.
And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
No we won't let you in.
And we won't let you in.
We don't want what isn't ours.
We won't let you in.
You win, you win, you win.
We're quiet on the ride,
we're all just waiting to get home.
Another week away, my greatest fear.
I need the smell of summer,
I need its noises in my ears.

Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't Lyrics – Brand New
I am heaven sent,
Don't you dare forget.
I am all you've ever wanted,
What all the other boys all promised.
Sorry I told. I just needed you to know.
I think in decimals and dollars.
I am the cause to all your problems,
Shelter from cold. we are never alone.
Coordinate brain and mouth.
Then ask me whats it like to have
Myself so figured out.
I wish I knew..
I hope this song starts a craze.
The kind of song that ignites the airwaves.
The kind of song that makes people glad
To be where they are,
With whoever they're there with.
This is war.
Every line is about,
Who I don't wanna write about anymore.
Hope you come down with something
They can't diagnose, don't have the cure for.
Holding on to your grudge.
Oh its so hard to have someone to love.
And keeping quiet is hard.
Cause you cant keep a secret
If it never was a secret to start.
At least pretend you didn't wanna get caught..
We're concentrating on falling apart.
We were contenders, we're throwing the fight
But I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe,
I just wanna believe, in us.
Oh, we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial.
We are entirely smooth.
We admit to the truth,
We are the best at what we do.
And these are the words you wish you wrote down.
This is the way you wish your voice sounds,
Handsome and smart.
Oh my tongue's the only muscle on my body
That works harder than my heart.
And its all from watching TV,
And from speeding up my breathing.
Wouldn't stop if I could.
Oh it hurts to be this good.
You're holding on to your grudge.
Oh it hurts to always have to be honest
With the one that you love.
Oh, so let it go..
We're concentrating on falling apart.
We were contenders, we're throwing the fight
But I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe,
I just wanna believe.
We're concentrating on falling apart.
We were contenders, we're throwing the fight
But I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe,
I just wanna believe, in us.
This is the grace that only we can bestow.
This is the price you pay for loss of control.
This is the break in the bend,
This is the closest of calls.
This is the reason your alone,
This is the rise and the fall.
We're concentrating on falling apart.
We were contenders, we're throwing the fight
But I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe,
I just wanna believe.
We're concentrating on falling apart.
We were contenders, we're throwing the fight
But I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe,
I just wanna believe, in us.
