We saw the western coast.
I saw the hospital.
Nursed the shoreline like a wound.
Reports of lover's tryst,
Were neither clear nor descript.
We kept it safe and slow.
The quiet things that no one ever knows.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.
I contemplate the day we wed.
Your friends are boring me to death.
Your veil is ruined in the rain.
By then you I can do without.
There's nothing new to talk about.
And though our kids are blessed,
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.
I lie for only you,
And I lie well...
Hallelu...
I lie for only you,
And I lie well...
Hallelu.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.
So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.

vocal I immediately fell in love with this band when I first heard this song. It really touched me (the lyrics) cuz it's so sad and meaningful. Brand New is such an awesome band, and I luv this song...even tho it makes me cry.

vocal it hits me hard... i have a girlfriend who fell asleep in a car accident. i know how jesse (or his character in the video) felt. he says the guy was dead but pretended to be alive to take care of the girl... its just like that. this is a beautiful song. my band and i played it at her funeral.
wow im so sorry about your girlfriend. that was really sweet of you and your band to play it at her funeral. im sure she is thinking about you in heaven. anyways...this song is awesome and i really want to see them live but dont know how to get tickets or if they play anywhere near me. anyone know any ifo about this?

vocal Couple of questions for ya...
What does "halleluh" mean, (I feel like such a retard, its probably a very obvious answer.)
And what does he mean by "gave up my body in bed, all for an empty hotel"? I was thinking maybe he slept with someone to get a place to stay, but that has nothing to do with the rest of the song or video..
Although, most music these days doesn't make much since either.

vocal I love this song. Its actually the song that made me interested in Brand New and from there I went and heard "Am I Wrong" and a bunch of others. Now, they're my favorite.
Favorite Line:Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground...
its been almost a year since i heard this song and it STILL makes me feel lik cryin. not becuz im overly sensitive , but really, everything is perfect, the lyrics, the guitars, his voice, dayyyym. definately one of the best songs on the album.

vocal the "i lie well..." part at the end is jesse praying for his girlfriend, right? and, in the video, thats weird, cus jesse was just pretending to be alive, and at the end, his corpse was still there, at the scene of the wreck... great song, anyway.
i just read what it means, for ^ those ppl,
first verse, is jesse talking to the doctor in the ambulance.
chorus, is jesse talking to his girlfriend.
second verse, is jesse talking to himself, and his girlfriend, but more to himself than her.
the last part, is him praying for her soul.
