Lyrics taken from Brand New's own site: I'd arrest you if i had handcuffs I'd arrest you if i had the time I'd throw you down in the backseat as if you'd committed a terrible crime. I'd break into a town's worth of houses and rob whole families blind I'd do it to you like you'd do it to me if you knew you would get away fine. I'd drown all these crying babies if i knew that their mothers wouldn't cry I'd lower them down and squeeze real hard and let a piece of myself die. It's hard to be the better man when you forget you're trying It's hard to be the better man. I'd arrest you if i had handcuffs I'd arrest you if i had the time I'd wait outside of the courtroom and taunt you when all your appeals were declined I'd drive my car into a bridge if i knew that you weren't inside With the pedal to the floor who could ask for a more fantastic way to kill some time You could lay on your back and be beaten You could put up your fists and fight You could try and be way off It's hard to be the better man when you forget you're trying It's hard to be the better man when you're still lying. |

Lyrics taken from Brand New's own site: Who do you carry that torch for, my young man? Do you believe in anything? Or do you carry it around just to burn things down? Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling, where we believe in everything. If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown, so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now with our God who we found laying under the back seat. What did you learn tonight? while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing. You are a voice that never sings, is what i say. You are freezing over hell You are bringing on that end you do so well and you can only blame yourself, is what is say. Oh, order your daughters to ignore me think that will sort me? and sweep me under the rug? while you're beating with a book everyone that book tells you to love. There is an ember in the heart of this kiln and it's burning hot with love. Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust then rolling me with care into your cigarette cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail. What did you learn tonight? You're shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing. You're a voice that never sings, is what i say. You are freezing over hell. You are bringing on the end you've read about and you can only blame yourself, is what i say. Who do you carry that torch for, my young man? Do you believe in anything, or do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground? |

Lyrics taken from Brand New's own site: When I disappear do you fear for the sister I took When I disappear it is clear I am up to no good I am drearily bloodletting this bedwetting cosmonaut "Son, the last thing you'll realize you need is what you've already got" So touch me or don't But just let me know Where you been? Drop me a line with a hook and some raw bleeding bait For I am uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake Shimmering under a moon made in anger and haste (I was the one who was always repeating it) Shimmering like a penny out of reach in the subway grating (Shimmering like a coin kept safe away, you never give in to anything) So touch me or don't But just let me know Where you been? You could never work well with our group Not with flaws we found So we've fixed you with cement galoshes And no one can save you now Even if you have friends among fish There will still be no air to breath You could drink up the entire ocean But we'll still find someone to be everything we know that you will never be. So touch me or don't But just let me know Where you been? |

Lyrics taken from Brand New's own site: Please don't be technology Cause I can't turn off your love Like some cold machine Don’t feed me scraps from your bed And I won't be the stray coming back Just to be fed Don’t be waves Come to seal my fate, marine Just pretend That you want me And be my babe Don’t be that note I can't hold Don’t be that joke that I told And told Till it got old Don’t be that hand around my throat So I can't breathe You say you're my friend But why won't you be my family? Well, if you breed Just don't tell me Be my babe. Be my serene Tell me you know what I mean You’ve set on me but you are not the sun And you will not listen |

Lyrics taken from Brand New's own site: Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Hangman, You go get your rope Your daughters weren't careful And I fear that I am a slippery slope Now even when I lay my head down at night After a day I got perfectly right… She won’t know She won’t know So pray little Kay, love is just God on a good day And you can't blame your mother She’s trying not to see you as her worst mistake And I wish that I could tell you right now But it looks like I won't be around So you won’t know You won’t know You won’t know You won’t know So believe in me, believe in me, believe in me, Believe, if you think I’ll let you down Well I won’t They can fire everything they've got And when you think I’m sunk I will float on and on I have burned the bush that covered my light Even though I’m scared I won't burn that bright But you won’t know You won’t know You won’t know You won’t know We’re never gonna feel as full as we felt So let's go outside and we'll play "William Tell" Take your time drawing your bead I’ll stand as still as you need You’re so good at talking smack, you heart attack But you're the apple of my eye anyway My smiling face That’s on my head That’s on your silver plate |

Lyrics taken from Brand New's own site: "K, here's your ride. Get your petals out and lay them in the aisle Pretend you are God, and grow, And that it's your own day to wed We have found your man. He is drinking up. He's all-American, and he'll drive He has volunteered with grace to end your life. We'll tidy up It's sad to hold, but leave your shell to us You explode, you firefly, you tiny boat with oars, Feather oars The world tilts back and pours and pours And so, you satellite, you tidal wave, You’re a big surprise And I have one more night to be your mother" Her signal was interrupted. My baby's frequency not strong enough Her head in my hands and smiling. K, we will miss you but in time you'll get set up, And we will write" (Curtain) Hey, you beauty supreme. Yeah, you were right about me. But can I get myself out from underneath This guilt that will crush me In the choir, I saw our sad Messiah. He was bored and tired of my laments. He said, "I died for you one time, but never again" Well I love you so much, but do me a favor baby and don’t reply. Cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it. 1234567 I'll never have to buy adjacent plots of earth We'll never have to rot together underneath dirt I'll never have to lose my baby in the crowd I should be laughing right now |

Lyrics taken from Brand New's own site: Goodbye to sleep I think this staying up is exactly what I need Take apart your head Take apart the counting and the flock it has bred Goodbye to love It’s just a ride that will push you Up right against the wall Take apart your head Chew it up and swallow it (Does everybody really need to know everyone? Do you really think you're really a part of it? And is your army really one of some thousands? And will you declare war on the loony bin?) Goodbye you liar Well, you sipped from her cup But you don't own up to anything And you think you will inspire (When I arrive will God be waiting and pacing around his throne? Will he feel a little Old Testament? And will he celebrate with fire and brimstone Yeah, I admit, I am afraid of the reckoning) Take apart your head Take apart the demon up in the attic to the left Take me, take me back to your bed I love you so much that it hurts my head Please say, "I don't mind you under my skin And I’ll let your bad parts in. the bad parts in" When we were made we were set apart But life is a test and I get bad marks Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins The storm is coming Here is your storm again Goodbye my love You wait right here, and they will come and pick you up I've been on pause But I’m shaking off the rust I’ve lost my charge I've been degaussed I've been degaussed I've been degaussed Take me, take me back to your bed I love you so much that it hurts my head I don't mind you under my skin I’ll let the bad parts in the bad parts in Well, you’re my favorite bird and when you sing I really do wish that you would wear my ring But no matter what they say, I am still the king The storm is coming The storm is coming |

| Brand New – Jesus Christ Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Lyrics taken from Brand New's own site: Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face The kind you'd find on someone that could save If they don't put me away It'll be a miracle Do you believe you're missing out? That everything good is happening somewhere else With nobody in your bed The night is hard to get through And I will die all alone And when I arrive I won't know anyone Jesus Christ, I'm alone again So what did you do those three days you were dead? Because this problem is gonna last More than the weekend Jesus Christ I'm not scared to die But I'm a little bit scared of what comes after Do I get the gold chariot Or do I float through the ceiling Or do I divide and pull apart Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark This ship went down in sight of land And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands? I know you're coming in the night like a thief But I've had some time, O Lord, to hone my lying technique I know you think that I'm someone you can trust But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up So do you think that we could work out a sign So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try I know you're coming for the people like me But we all got wood and nails And we turn out hate in factories We all got wood and nails And we turn out hate in factories We all got wood and nails And we sleep inside of this machine |

Lyrics taken from Brand New's own site: I used to be such a burning example I used to be so original I used to care I was being cared for And made sure I showed it to those that I love I used to sleep without a single stir Cause I was about my father's work Take me out tonight This ship of fools I’m on will sink I’m my own stone around my neck If you’d be my breathe There is nothing I wouldn't give I used to pray like God was listening I used to make my parents proud I was the glue that kept my friends together Now they don't talk and we don't go out I used to know the name of every person I’d kissed Now I’ve made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it Take me out tonight This ship of fools I’m on will sink I'm my own stone around my neck If you’d be my breathe There is nothing I wouldn't give Things that were heard at the scene of the accident: "They never hit their brakes..." "There was no time to see..." "He just ran out in the street..." "Does anybody know his name?" "I think I recognize him..." "He sure as hell paid for that mistake..." |

Lyrics take from Brand New's own site: I was losing all my friends Was losing some to drinking and some to driving I was losing all my friends And didn't want them back I am on the mend And at least now I can say that I am trying And I hope you will forget The things that I still lack Is it in you now, To bear to hear the truth that you have spoken Twisted up by knaves To make a trap for fools? Is it in you now, To watch the things you gave your life to, broken? And then stoop and build them up With worn out tools? Yeah Nothing gets so bad That a whisper from your father couldn't fix it He whispers like a bridge It’s a river spanned Take all that you have And turn it into something you would miss if Somebody threw that brick That shattered all your plans Yeah No time to get the seeds into the cold ground It takes some time to grow anything. Before it's all coming to an end Before you put my body in the cold ground Take some time and warm it with your hands Before it's coming to an end Do you miss the blend Of color she left in your black and white field? Do you feel condemned Just for being there? I am not your friend, your lover, or your family, yeah |
