Song lyrics
Jesus christ that's a pretty face. 
The kind you'd find on someone that could save.
If they don't put me away, well it would be a miracle.
Do you believe you're missing out,
When everything good is happening somewhere else? 
But with nobody in your bed, 
The night's hard to get through. 

And I will die all alone. 
And when I arrive I won't know anyone. 

Well jesus christ I'm alone again. 
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
'Cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend. 
Well jesus christ I'm not scared to die. 
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after: 
Do I get the gold chariot? 
Do I float through the ceiling? 
Do I divide and pull apart? 
'Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark. 
And this ship went down in sight of land. 
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands? 

I know you'll come in the night like a thief, 
But I've had some time oh lord, 
To hone my lying technique.
And I know you think that I'm someone you can trust, 
But I'm scared I'll get scared. 
And I swear I'll try to nail you back up. (And you won't know)
So do you think we could work out a sign. (Together.) 
So I'll know it's you and that it's over, so I won't even try. 
I know you're coming for the people like me, 
But we all got wood and nails; 
We don't turn out hate in factories. 
Yea, we all got wood and nails; 
We don't turn out hate in factories. 
We all got wood and nails. 
And we sleep inside of this machine.

Jesse Lacey is the most clever and extrodinary writer I think I have ever heard. With one mighty fine voice to go along with it.

i think he's saying "we've all got wood and nails" in references to the crucifix and jesus christ, not "we've all got wooden nails"

I'm not going to lie, Brand New has really out done themselves this time.


My bright is too sly to hold back all my dark.

there are so many biblical allusions in this song, its awesome

-Thomas was the disciple that doubted that Jesus had risen, and when he finally met the risen Christ, he said that he would not believe until he saw the holes in Jesus' hands and feet.

-Jesus told a parable relating his second coming to "a thief in the night"

-Jesus was dead for three days.

-Still wondering about the gold chariot, can anyone help me there? I know Elijah was taken to heaven in a chariot of fire, don't know if that has anything to do with it...

-The "nailing back" and "wood and nails" is for the crucifixion

the ending of this song is so powerful, it gives me shivers. i think its about jesse longing to be connected with christ without the burden of religion...but regardless, its still an amazing song.

Not to sound like an asshole or anything, but if a song is called "Jesus Christ" I can't really understand how you can get it to "wooden nails" instead of "wood and nails".

This is a great song. I love it because it's reminds me about how I feel about religion. Plus I am pretty sure where it says "So do you think we could work out a something." it should be sign instead of something. "So do you think we could work out a sign. So I know it's you and that it's over, so I won't even try." Makes more sense huh?

Sorry for all the mistakes and changes guys. This song is a pain. I think I've finally got it down (with various peoples help) except the words in the background. Any help on that is greatly appreciated.

And of course this is an awesome song and album.

ahh this song is going to be the death of me! so...isnt it quite possible that jesse is singing "my bright is too slight..." it makes more sense and it's really a beautiful line. and also, i kinda here "i've had some time, oh lord..." instead of alone. figuring out the correct lyrics to a song has never been so damn difficult or important to me lol. kthanks.

on brand new's website they posted the lyrics and those people that were saying "Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark" were right. its not sly.
