Song lyrics
Please don't be technology, 
So I can't turn off your love like some cold machine. 
Don't feed me scraps from your bed. 
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. 
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my... 

Well don't be that note I can't hold. 
Well don't be that joke that I told and told 'til it got old. 
Don't be that hand 'round my throat so I can't breath. (So I can't breath.)
Say you're my friend but why won't you be my family? 

And if you breed, 
Just don't tell me. 
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe......

To be my serene. 
Tell me you know what I mean. 
(Prove me wrong.) 
You've set on me, but you are not the sun. 
You are not the sun. 

Outside your cold lips again. 
You set on me, but you are not the sun. 
You are not the sun. 

Just pretend that you love me, 
And be my babe. 
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my babe?
Would you be my...

Probably the catchiest songs on the album.
Although the chorus isn't strong, I really enjoy the last bit of the song where Jesse sings "You are not the sun." Something about that lines makes me love this song so much.

Wow.

This is, um, COMPLETELY WRONG.

Can't you hear properly? Or, if you can't here properly, perhaps you should check out the proper lyrics, straight from the offical BN website:

Not the Sun

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

well, it's not totally wrong. the words on the website were obviously written before the final cut in the studio, so you can't go completely by whats on the website. Here's what I get when i listen to it.

Please don't be technology
So I can turn off your love
Like some cold machine

Don’t feed me scraps from your bed
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
Would you be my babe (8x)
[possibly "bane" and/or "bait" alternating]
To be my...

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
To be my babe.
Would you be my babe? (8x)(8x more with background)

Be my serene
Tell me you know what I mean
You’ve set on me that you are not the sun
You will not listen (how do they know where i am?)
[burn it down] I'm outside your cold lips again
[come around] You've set on me that you are not the sun
You will not listen.

Just pretend
That you love me
And be my babe
Would you be my babe (8x)
Would you be my...

the more i listen to it, the more i'm confused about what it actually is. but i changed my mind on the bridge part: i think he sings,

Be my serene
tell me you know what i mean(prove me wrong)
you said of me that, "you are not the sun"
you will not listen (how do they know where i am?)

(burn it down) I'm outside your cold lips
(I'll come around) You said of me that, "You are not the sun."
You will not listen.

It's great even if the lyrics are a bit different
