Brand New - I Will Play My Game Beneath The Spin Light

Track #3 of Brand New's album Deja Entendu.

Lyrics:
The time has come for colds and overcoats.
We're quiet on the ride,
we're all just waiting to get home.
Another week away, my greatest fear.
I need the smell of summer,
I need its noises in my ears.
If looks could really kill,
then my profession would be staring.
Please know we do this cause we care
and not for the thrill.
Collect calls to home
to tell them that I realize
that everyone who lives will someday die
and die alone.

And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
We won't let you in.
You win.

I wrote more postcards than hooks.
I read more maps than books.
Feel like every chance to leave
is another chance I should have took.
Every minute is a mile.
I've never felt so hollow.
I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews
and empty aisles.
My secrets for a buck.
Watch me as I cut myself wide open
on this stage. Yes, I am paid
to spill my guts. I won't see home till spring.
Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic,
but I am paid to make girls panic
while I sing.

And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
We won't let you in.
And we won't let you in.
We don't want what isn't ours.
We won't let you in.
You win.

And the coastline is quiet.
While we're quietly losing control.
Yes, we're silent but sure
we inventened the cure
that will wash out my memories of her.
"The harpoon is loaded. The cage is lowered.
The water is red."
Like you.

@Kiwiamazazingbitch who cares about your opinion?

[CharIieMayhem]

Would Jesse really want everyone fighting over musical differences? Fight off your demons, man.

@Kiwiamazazingbitch I'm not gonna jump down your throat, but that little kid doesn't write lyrics that are nearly as meaningful as Jesse Lacey. The line "I am paid to make girls panic while I sing" perfectly shows the difference between the two: Never shout never plays his poppy little songs to teen girls and flips his scene haircut around while Brand New recognizes how ridiculous it is. He rips off everything, I'm so sick of people saying his Cute without the E cover is good or some other crap.

@Kiwiamazazingbitch Your gay for even liking nevershoutnever, your "Honest Opinion" is worth less than the sweat under my balls. Brand New > nevershoutnever.....notice I didn't captilize nevershoutnever. He's a pussy and Brand New's lyrics are way more amazing than Chris could ever dream of writing. That is all.

[Kiwiamazazingbitch]

some people say that nevershoutnever ripped off the melody....in some parts of this song its true, but jesus nevershoutnever's song (On The Bright Side) is 10x better than this song cuz Chris's voice is much better, and nevershoutnever's song is much happier...just sayin...and dont say im a troll and get all pissy cuz i left an honest opinion...
