Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
The desperate eyes are closed maybe it goes away
Please rest tomorrow and bring a satisfied day
The restless urge of love that's worth the burning for
Surely it's that one comforting love to give you more
And that thought can be that begins the brand new tangled web your spinning
Anyone can be a brand new love
Any time the force can be broken to tear you bitter world to be open
Anyone can be a brand new love
You won't be the first
Your twisted change is normal, gossip dirt
Whisper to the nodding head, thrilled you fell apart instead of them, but they will
'Cause any hope for love an be killed
If you need a different face, it's definite time to destroy this place
Follow what you feel you alone will decide what's real
Anyone can be a brand new love
Please rest tomorrow and bring a satisfied day
The restless urge of love that's worth the burning for
Surely it's that one comforting love to give you more
And that thought can be that begins the brand new tangled web your spinning
Anyone can be a brand new love
Any time the force can be broken to tear you bitter world to be open
Anyone can be a brand new love
You won't be the first
Your twisted change is normal, gossip dirt
Whisper to the nodding head, thrilled you fell apart instead of them, but they will
'Cause any hope for love an be killed
If you need a different face, it's definite time to destroy this place
Follow what you feel you alone will decide what's real
Anyone can be a brand new love

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I think it should be pointed out that this is a cover of a Sebadoh song.
I think this song is about coming out of one relationship and going into another.
"Anytime the force can be broken To dare your bitter world to be open Anyone can be your brand new love Anyone can be your brand new"
This means that you shouldn't be afraid to fall in love again, and that there are other people out there that you can fall in love with. So don't be afraid to forget about the last relationship and move on to new people
"You won't be the first Your twisted change is normal Gossip dirt Whispered to the nodding head Thrilled you fell apart Instead of them But they will Cause any hope for love could be killed If you need a different face It's definite time to destroy this place" it basically is saying if someone breaks up with you there will be more! :)
Whoever put the lyrics in skipped a part at the end, after the "its time to destroy this place" they have the chours again then they have- "Follow what you feel, you alone will decide whats for real. Anyone can be a brand new love" then they say the chours a bunch of times
Actually, at the end' it's "you alone will decide what's surreal"
I was really disappointed when I heard this song. My friend showed me "Cruella" and since it has been one of my all time favourite songs. So when I downloaded this piece of crap I couldn't believe it, i lost a lot of respect for them.
This song has great lyrics and such a sweet meaning. Its just saying if you break up then it wasn't meant to be, and that theres probably someone new for you, but it will take time to find them. TJE you should try and listen tot he Superchunk version. If possibly does anyone know who actually wrote the song, Superchunk or Deadsy or someone else.
This is my favorite Deadsy song. The sound is awesome and unique.
Sebadoh, or Lou Barlow, wrote the song.
This was one of the first songs I heard by Deadsy and it became an important part of me getting over someone very special...
