Brand New - Guernica W/ Lyrics

Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won.
Worry and wake the ones you love.
A phone call I'd rather not receive.
Please use my body while I sleep.
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep,
Kept clean and they will let you breathe.

Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.

Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
so I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed.
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around.
I'm not writing my goodbyes.

I submit no excuse.
If this is what I have to do I owe you every day I wake.
If I could I would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells
and remove whatever makes you hurt but I am too weak to be your cure.

Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.

Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
so I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed.
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around.
I'm not writing my goodbyes.

I'm not letting you check out.
You will beat this starting now and you will always be around.
I'm there to monitor your breathing
I will watch you while you're sleeping.
I will keep you safe and sound.
Does anybody remember back when you were very young.
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?

Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
so I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed.
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around.
I'm not writing my goodbyes.

brand new must be the best band ever.

[MasterBlade4]

My favorite Brand New song.

[smartDefender4all]

So Bad ASS

[xoxamyyyy]

@kasinecz The song definitely makes more sense if you know that it's about his grandfather having lung cancer, but I still relate this song to suicide. "I'm not letting you check out, you will beat this starting now and you will always be around." The great thing about music and lyrics is that people can make them relate to their own lives too.

AmAndA i still miss you didnt think i would...

[okdontnoewattoput]

That song was amazing!!! It was intense too, and also kinda sad, my heart was wrenching because I know people that must have felt like this and it kills to see people in that type of pain, especially because you can't do anything about it

[rasha392]

the fucking beginning.

[capostatus937]

Songs like this saved this album, i don't care for acoustic much

[Vegetagurl]

My grandpa was diagnosed with lung cancer when I was in college...this song describes exactly how I felt...I miss you papa, and I love you <3

[helenatorr]

@tbender36 You said it.

[daddysprincess5683]

I Love This Song It Is Amazing

[LadyTitsy]

If I could I would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells

and remove whatever makes you hurt but I am too weak to be your cure.
