Favorite Brand New Lyrics

These are my favorite lyrics from the band Brand New the slashes represent the end of a line. The part after the dash is the song title I was talking to Rickey about how awesome this band is and how they’re just going to keep getting better until they ascend into Heaven glowing like Mary.

(note, there are 12 because I suck at deciding)

Now, in no particular order…

1. “So, is that what you call a getaway?/Tell me what you got away with./Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish./I've seen more/guts in eleven-year-old kids./Have another drink and drive yourself home./I hope there's ice on all the roads./And you can/think of me when you forget your seatbelt,/and again when your head goes through the windshield.” – Seventy Times 7

2. “We saw the western coast/I saw the hospital/Nursed the shoreline like a wound” – The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

3. “It's cold as a tomb, and it's dark in your room, when I sneak to your bed to pour salt in your wounds. So call it quits or get a grip. Say you wanted a solution. You just wanted to be missed. Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget... You are calm and reposed. Let your beauty unfold. Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones. Spring keeps you ever close. You are second hand smoke. You are so fragile and thin. Standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain. You are the blood in my veins. Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget.” – The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

4. “We slip concealed back to the keep./Concede to do the work for free./We prey as wolves among the sheep and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep.” – Good To Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do Is Die

5. “Whatever poison's in this bottle will leave me broken sore and stiff./But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at. He owes me one last wish.” – Jude Law And The Semester Abroad

6. “ "Jess, I still taste you, thus reserve my right to hate you." ” – Jude Law And The Semester Abroad

7. “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…” – Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't

8. “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.” – I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Light

9. “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.” – I Will Play My Games Beneath the Spin Light

10. “I've got desperate desires and unadmirable plans/My tongue will taste of gin and malicious intent/Bring you back to the bar/Get you out of the cold/A sober, straight face gets you out of your clothes” – Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis

11. “Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry? I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.” – Guernica

12. “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.” – Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't
