Brand New - Play Crack The Sky

Song of Brand New's album Deja Entendu.

Lyrics:

We sent out the S.O.S. call.
It was a quarter past four, in the morning
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
Four months at sea. Four months of calm seas {only}
To be pounded in the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point.

They call 'em rogues. They travel fast and alone.
One hundred foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong.
What they call love is a risk,
'Cause you will always get hit
Out of nowhere by some wave
And end up on your own.

The hole in the hull defied the crew's attempts,
To bail us out.
And flooded the engines and radio,
And half buried bow.

Your tongue is a rudder.
It steers the whole ship.
Sends your words past your lips
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
But the wrong words will strand you.
Come off course while you sleep.
Sweep your boat out to sea
Or dashed to bits on the reef.

The vessel groans
The ocean pressures its frame.
To the port I see the lighthouse
Through the sleet and the rain.
And I wish for one more day to give my
Love and repay debts.
But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west.

They say that the captain stays fast with the ship,
Through still and storm,
But this ain't the Dakota,
And the water's so cold,
{We} won't have to fight for long.

(This is the end.)
This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear,
(This is the calm.)
Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath,
(We are the risen.)
I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea,
(After the storm.)
I spoke the words but never gave a thought of what they all could mean,
(Rest in the sea.)
I know that this is what you want, a funeral keeps both of us apart.
(Washed up on the beach.)
You know that you are not alone, I need you like water in my lungs.
[x2]

This is the end.

I'm a guy who listens to a LOT of music. My iTunes library has well over 5000 songs in it and I carry both my iPod and iPhone filled with music with me everywhere I go. So naturally, when it comes to picking my favorite song of all time, it's incredibly difficult. I think that this one is it. Seeing Jesse play it live is undoubtedly one of the high points in my 17 years of existence so far.

Is it wrong that I like the sadness which Brand New brings?

[eigenbroetler321]

He should be more careful with his acoustic guitar at the end.

[Rosehawka]

@robbybaune idk, but if it makes you feel any better, you're not the only one

[TheLighterDark]

@Slappification No.

[Slappification]

is it just me or does it sound like "one hundred fart faces" at 0:57 ?

[iWouldHateToBeYou]

[paxtonsmith]

@Puckett57 I love knowing other people are so completely and deeply affected by music. I am currently obsessed with brand New. Cannot get enough of them!
