Send "Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't" ringtones to your cell

I am heaven sent. 
Don’t you dare forget. 
I am all you've ever wanted, 
What all the other boys all promised. 
Sorry I told, I just needed you to know. 
I think in decimals and dollars, 
I am the cause to all your problems. 
Shelter from cold. 
We are never alone. 
Coordinate brain and mouth, 
Then ask me what its like to have my self so figured out.
Wish I knew. 

I hope this song starts a craze. 
The kind of song that ignites the airwaves. 
The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are, 
With whoever they're there with. 
This is war. 
Every line is about who I don’t want to write about anymore. 
Hope you come down with something they can’t diagnose, 
Don’t have the cure for. 
Holding on to your grudge, 
Oh it’s so hard to have someone to love. 
And keeping quiet is hard, 
Cause you can’t keep a secret if it never was a secret to start. 
At least pretend you didn’t want to get caught. 

We're concentrating on falling apart. 
We were contenders, now we’re throwing the fight. 
I just want to believe, 
I just want to believe, 
I just want to believe... in us. 

Oh we're so c-c-c-controversial. 
We are entirely smooth. 
We admit to the truth. 
We are the best at what we do. 
And these are the words you wish you wrote down, 
This is the way you wish your voice sounds, 
Handsome and smart. 
Oh my tongue’s the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart. 
And it’s all from watching TV, 
And from speeding up my breathing. 
Wouldn’t stop if I could. 
Oh, it hurts to be this good. 
Holding on to your grudge. 
Oh, it hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love. 
Oh, so let it go. 

We're concentrating on falling apart. 
We were contenders, now we’re throwing the fight. 
I just want to believe, 
I just want to believe, 
I just want to believe.

We're concentrating on falling apart. 
We were contenders, now we’re throwing the fight. 
I just want to believe, 
I just want to believe, 
I just want to believe... in us. 

This is the grace only we can bestow. 
This is the price you pay for loss of control. 
This is the break in the bend. 
This is the closest of calls. 
This is the reason you’re alone. 
This is the rise and the fall. 

We're concentrating on falling apart. 
We were contenders, now we’re throwing the fight. 
I just want to believe, 
I just want to believe, 
I just want to believe.

We're concentrating on falling apart. 
We were contenders, now we’re throwing the fight. 
I just want to believe, 
I just want to believe, 
I just want to believe... in us.

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i heard and always thought seventy times seven was the song written to whomever he was in the fight with in TBS. And "There's no I in Team" was the response back to seventy times seven. Thats why in there's no i in team he uses lines such as "best friends means, well best friends means" and "i've got a twenty dollar bill" and "broken down in bars and bathrooms" which are in BN songs or are much like them. btw this song kicks ass..

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal God I am madly in love with Jesse Lacey. OK I believe you is the best song by brand new besides seventy times seven. I know some of you might be pissed at me for sayin this and i have to admit ok i believe you has a better melody and awesome lyrics but the bridge in seventy times 7 is just mind blowing.

21 posts	This song is great. Jesse said that this album wasn't about writing lyrics whining and complaining about how everyone else has hurt him, but how he has hurt other people. He said he was trying to be hard on himself when writing the songs for this CD. So i'm sure he's quite aware of how this song makes him sound. He isnt acting cocky by accident.
