...Slowdance on the Inside Lyrics
Passed out in our school clothes
so we'd wake up in our Sunday's best
I never asked for your opinion
I just got it and I get
We move slow like daytime drama
and I'm boring like his songs
So while I'm takin' you for granted
we'll be hummin' along
Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lyin' just to keep you here
So reckless, oh (so reckless)
so thoughtless (so thoughtless),
so jealous
I could care less
Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lyin' just to keep you here
(so reckless)
Well I'll keep you here
(so thoughtless)
I...
(I could care less)
So paint your face up something elegant
and this town maybe a darker shade of red
'cause a long night
means a fist fight
against your pillow and my pearly whites
I wanna hear you scream
You like me better on my knees
So let us pray (we don't believe in)
So let us pray (second chances)
Don't you ask me
and don't you lose (I win)
Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lyin' just to keep you here
So reckless, oh (so reckless)
so thoughtless (so thoughtless),
so jealous
I could care less
Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lyin' just to keep you here
(so reckless)
Well I'll keep you here
(so thoughtless)
I...
(I could care less)
Well cross my heart and hope to...
I'm lyin' just to keep you here
I'll keep you here
I'll keep you here
Well one of us never did it, but were takin' it all
And tell me why you never promised that you wanted it all
And though her eyes never batted when she said it
It's a long night
Open
Know it all
(open all night, know it) [8x]
This glass house
is burning down
You light the match
I'll stick around
I'll give you everything you want
and wish the worst
on what I was
This glass house
is burning down
You light the match
I'll stick around
I'll give you everything you want
and wish the worst
on what I was
Tonight won't make a difference [10x]
so we'd wake up in our Sunday's best
I never asked for your opinion
I just got it and I get
We move slow like daytime drama
and I'm boring like his songs
So while I'm takin' you for granted
we'll be hummin' along
I'm lyin' just to keep you here
So reckless, oh (so reckless)
so thoughtless (so thoughtless),
so jealous
I could care less
Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lyin' just to keep you here
(so reckless)
Well I'll keep you here
(so thoughtless)

I'll keep you here

yeah adam did date john's sister. i'm pretty sure when the broke up adam was a huge dick about it, and was wicked mean to her. this making john mad... thats just what i've heard.
if you havent noticed yet i'm the biggest TBS and BN nerd.
i think this song is about john, for two obvious reasons, "and I'm boring like his songs" and glasshouse, if you noticed in 'Follow The Format' adam used a glasshouse, and in this song he also uses a glasshouse, and we all know 'follow the format' is about straylight run, just my opinion...
i really think this song could be a fuck you to jessie and brand new. i think it's saying that they used brand new for stuff like fans and what not. and the shirts "mics are for singing not swinging" and adam says "i never asked for your opinion, i just got it. and i get it". i dunno these things kinda struck me. and maybe BN's songs are "boring". and the use of sunday best and passing out in the beginning. and the end with the chanting. maybe jessie and adam got in a lot of arguments, that being for the verse about fighting... this is just what i think.
sweet song, best on new cd i think.
yeh, theres no i in team and 70 x 7 are defo linked, and i can see that this and soco r linked 2. gd spotting. jesse and john r friends though now aint they??
@takingbackjim pretty sure they're friends since a while back they had Jesse playing with them on stage even after brand new was formed. sorry for a reply 20 years later

this song is beautiful to me.
" I never asked for your opinion i just got it & i get it"....line is golden!
Okay so I'm definitely not sure if what I hear is what he actually says but I thiiiiink: "Don't you ask me, and don't you lose" should actually be "Don't you ask me, don't you utter a word"
And: "So paint your face up something elegant, and this town maybe a darker shade of red" should be "So paint your face up something elegant, and this time maybe a darker shade of red"
Like I said, I'm not sure but it's just a suggestion.
Could this song be any more like Brand New- Soco Amaretto Lime? Don't get me wrong... I love TBS... but there are so many similarities. The guitar in the beginning... the first words (Passed out/sunday best)... and the the whole group singing the last line over and over... real weird. Give them both a listen and lemme know if you think I'm crazy.
@Dutch21 I see it, and I agree. Jesse wa s friends w/ John nolan, and they had a bad falling out, like how 'there's no I in team and 'seventy times 7' and they both have the same lyrics in parts.

this song is really growing on me. i do think it has something to do with john, and also i think it also has references to john's sister michelle.
this song def has nothing to do with john or michelle, cause tbs was playing this song live when john was still in the band
