|---|
Ever since I was young
your word is the word that always won.
Worry and wake the ones you love.
A phone call I’d rather not receive.
Please use my body while I sleep.
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep,
Kept clean and they will let you breathe.
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
So I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was
the part I must have missed.
So I’m asking you to shine it on and stick around.
I’m not writing my goodbyes.
I submit no excuse.
If this is what I have to do
I owe you every day I wake.
If I could I would shrink myself
Sink through your skin to your blood cells
remove whatever makes you hurt
but I am too weak to be your cure.
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
so I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was
the part I must have missed.
So I’m asking you to shine it on and stick around.
I’m not writing my goodbyes.
I’m not letting you check out.
You will beat this starting now
And you will always be around.
I’m there to monitor your breathing
I will watch you while you’re sleeping.
I will keep you safe and sound.
Does anybody remember back when you were very young.
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
so I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was
the part I must have missed.
So I’m asking you to shine it on and stick around.
I’m not writing my goodbyes.

| I love Brand New, and all of there songs. I heard them when they were still underground, and I loved them since. This song is one of the most emotion songs that Jesse wrote, seeing it was about his grandfather. I like there style of music, because they don't talk about all the girls they've had sex with, or all the money and fame they have. (Although Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis pushes it, even though its not true). I hope they continue their awesome talent, they are second to no-one. I hope they stay together for along time. | | 23-05-2004 19:24 aflackoh6 |

| MvMvE is about Jesse's fear of fame and failing at the peak of his fame. | | 23-05-2004 23:25 akuba |

| Yea I really like this song also. I like all there songs. Mostly because you can appreciate the lyrics and the sincerness in them. (is sincerness a word?)
Their sound sounds different from other bands because they listen to all kinds of music. A lot of indie stuff according Jesse. | | 23-05-2004 23:43 aflackoh6 |

| 3 and a half minutes (near enough) of pure musical heaven. The best Brand New song. And the bridge bit ('you will beat this starting now', etc) never fails to rouse something inside me. | | 06-07-2004 05:02 cracked17 |

| yea i was wondering what this song rilly meant too. since guernica was the painting that that one guy wrote about like the goverment and communism and stuff i didn't rilly get how it tied into the song...and then how the whole grandfather and cancer thing tied in there too. but brand new's lyrics don't always go with their titles so maybe its suppose to be like that....but i could be wrong.... | | 09-07-2004 14:06 purple_hippo |
