Brand New - 70x7

Song from Brand New's album Your Favorite Weapon.

Lyrics:

Back in school they never taught us
what we needed to know
Like how to deal with despair
or someone breakin your heart
For twelve years I've held it all together
but a night like this is beggin to pull me apart
I played it quiet left you deep in conversation
I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen
I remember I kept thinking
that I know you never would
And now I know I want to kill you
like only a best friend could

Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...

As if it happening wasn't enough
I got to go and write a song
just to remind myself how bad it sucked
Ignore the sun, covers over my head
Wrote a message on my pillow that says
"Jesse, stay asleep in bed"
Don't apologize (I hope you choke and die!)
Search your cell for something which to hang yourself
They say you need to pray
if you want to go to heaven
But they don't tell you what to say
when your whole life has gone to Hell!

Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...
Everyone's caught on to
(and I can't let you let me down again)
everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...
(and I can't let you let me down again)

So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids
Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
and again when your head goes through the windshield

Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation
And is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say "best friends" means friends forever

Is that what you call a getaway?!!
Tell me what you got away with!!
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish!!
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids!!
Have another drink and drive yourself home!!
I hope there's ice on all the roads!!
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
then when your head goes through the windshield!!

(I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to...
(I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to...

AHHHH!!!

...this sounds so different to The Devil and God.

[Geovex]

it's about his best his friend stealing his girl bitches

[Bridesmaidsforbvb]

yeek cant wait for a bad break up .

[IAmColdCheese]

Dont apologize!

[machou1]

@jswimming11 It's about a falling out with members of taking back sunday who were his close friends.

[joshuachaffin]

Google the meaning. it's all explained :)

[mycrackitches5]

@jswimming11 thanks man i get it now (duh)

[jswimming11]

@mycrackitches5 pure speculation but based on what the rest of the song is about, he is talking about his girlfriend cheating on him. she probly feels like she got off easy and he doesn't. if he was serious enough with the girl they may have been best friends as well as dating, but she cheated on him and hurt him which a best friend wouldn't do.

[mycrackitches5]

i get most of de song except de part where it says 'Is that what you call tact?

You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

So let's end this call and end this conversation

And is that what you call a getaway?

Tell me what you got away with

Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed

when you say "best friends" means friends forever' can someone explain to me wat it means?
