Brand New - Guernica

From their album 'Deja Entendu'.

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.

Its kinda sad brand news not as good live

[roelfreriks]

@nayr87 In my experience they're absolutely epic live. Seeing them was one of the best things in my life.

[sexualpredator12]

even tho alot of there songs are sad there amazing "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."

[PowerlessLady13]

Psh. Then you don't know good music.

This song is effing amazing.

@PassageToIndiaBand I think people expect to hear the songs EXACTLY the way they are on the CD's when the go see them live and when they aren't they get all upset and say they suck, there live show does have a different sound to it but is Amazing the way that it is.. It not going to be studio quality and a lot of people forget that.

[PassageToIndiaBand]

@nayr87 There seem to be two opinions on that. One that Brand New Blows live. Two is that they are the best live show ever.
