Song lyrics
If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand. 
I hope you find out what you want. 
I already know what I am. 
And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again. 
And you can tell me how vile I already know that I am. 
I'll grow old and start acting my age. 
I'll be a brand new day in a life that you hate. 
A crown of gold. A heart that's harder than stone. 
And it hurts a whole lot, but it's missed when it's gone. 

Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. 
I'm glad that you can forgive. 
I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget. 

If it makes you less sad, I'll move out of the state. 
You can keep to yourself. I'll keep out of your way. 
And if it makes you less sad, I'll take your pictures all down. 
Every picture you paint, I will paint myself out. 
It's cold as a tomb, and it's dark in your room, 
when I sneak to your bed to pour salt in your wounds. 
So call it quits or get a grip. 
Say you wanted a solution. You just wanted to be missed. 

Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. 
I'm glad that you can forgive. 
I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget... 

You are calm and reposed. Let your beauty unfold. 
Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones. 
Spring keeps you ever close. 
You are second hand smoke. You are so fragile and thin. 
Standing trial for your sins. 
Holding onto yourself the best you can. 
You are the smell before rain. 
You are the blood in my veins. 

Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. 
I'm glad that you can forgive. 
I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget.

This is just another reason why I love Brand New so much. I really like this line "Say you wanted a solution. You just wanted to be missed." I just realized it was there when I listened to it. Brand New is one of those bands where each time you listen to them you fall more in love with their music.

You are second hand smoke.

Standing trial for your sins.
Holding onto yourself the best you can.
You are the smell before rain.
You are the blood in my veins.

Best song, Best Lines, Best Band.

I've just recently discovered this song, and ever since I can't stop listening to it or get it out of my head. It perfectly explains the situation I'm going through with my ex boyfriend, and it makes me either want to cry when I hear it, or scream it from the top of a mountin, or something. It is pure beauty and the bridge makes my heart sink to my stomach.

It's really something special, just like the band.

i adore this song. i mean... it gets you on so many levels. So i was going to put my favourite lyric form the song here... but i cant pick one. It is all so well written. It suprises and saddens me that Brand New arent more known in Australia.


* offtopic :
The first song i ever heard from brand new was "Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades" with its whole screaming "DIE YOUNG AND SAVE YOURSELF!" so i thought they were a fairly heavy-ish band. Then i heard songs like this and "Soco Amaretto Lime" and i had to change my opinion of them. I love the way some bands can show such raw emotions in songs and show such a variety. Brand New are very talented!
