Brand New - The No Seatbelt Song

From their album 'Your Favorite Weapon'.

Lyrics:

So, it's sad this doesn't suit you now.
And me fresh out of rope...
Please ignore the lisp, I never meant to sound like this.
So take me and break me and make me strong like you.
I'll be forever grateful to this and you.

It's only you, beautiful.
Or I don't want anyone.
If I can choose it's only you.

Fix me to a chain around your neck and wear me like a nickel.
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste.
I shot the pilot, now I'm begging you to fly this for me.
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised.
Do you understand?

It's only you, beautiful.
Or I don't want anyone.
If I can choose, it's only you.
But how could I miscalculate...
perfect eyes will have perfect aim.
If I can choose, it's only you.

"we're wrecking" and I'm dry like a drum, when you scream so fine I'll leave.
We're stranded, we've got time and trials, measured in miles. We slave for days (and weeks).

It's only you, beautiful.
Or I don't want anyone.
If I can choose.
It's only you.
But how could I miscalculate...
perfect lies from a perfect dame.
If I can choose... it's only you.

This album is way underated, songs like this and "lime" made this album just as deep as later works

@Fraze326 Same here man. My best friend moved 10 hours away from me three years ago & brand new was our favorite band. and now he's moving to japan & it's gonna suck balls to see him leave.

I like that I'm not the only person sitting here youtubing old Brand New songs. I miss listening to this stuff with my friends

[StarightRippin69]

one person hit the dislike button just to say they were the first person on the planet to dislike this song.

@PretendtheEnd You really know your shit

@salito42 Actually it's Jesse Lacey* And if you're correcting mollyberr's comment about Brand New's lyrics, then you're incorrect. Vincent Accardi also writes a decent amount of lyrics - for instance, Daisy was more like a group effort than anything else. And if I remember correctly, I think Acaradi and Lacey wrote this song together.
