[@classicpinball9873]

Brand New has had its run, they seem to be getting less popular with each day passing

[@FabulousKilljoy]

Classic Pinball Well the whole deal with Jesse Lacey is enough to make people sick just from hearing his voice, and it’s enough to keep potential fans away. That’s completely understandable. I’ve decided I’m going to continue to listen, no matter what happened. And I think it’s fine either way. Besides, not many people like real emo music anymore.

I am heaven sent, Don't you dare forget. I am all you've ever wanted, What all the other boys all promised. Sorry I told. I just needed you to know. I think in decimals and dollars. I am the cause to all your problems, Shelter from cold. we are never alone. Coordinate brain and mouth. Then ask me whats it like to have Myself so figured out. I wish I knew.. I hope this song starts a craze. The kind of song that ignites the airwaves. The kind of song that makes people glad To be where they are, With whomever they're there with. This is war. Every line is about, Who I don't wanna write about anymore. Hope you come down with something They can't diagnose, don't have the cure for. Holding on to your grudge. Oh its so hard to have someone to love. And keeping quiet is hard. Cause you cant keep a secret If it never was a secret to start. At least pretend you didn't wanna get caught.. We're concentrating on falling apart. We were contenders, we're throwing the fight But I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, in us. Oh, we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial. We are entirely smooth. We admit to the truth, We are the best at what we do. And these are the words you wish you wrote down. This is the way you wish your voice sounds, Handsome and smart. Oh my tongue's the only muscle on my body That works harder than my heart. And its all from watching TV, And from speeding up my breathing. Wouldn't stop if I could. Oh it hurts to be this good. You're holding on to your grudge. Oh it hurts to always have to be honest With the one that you love. Oh, so let it go.. We're concentrating on falling apart. We were contenders, we're throwing the fight But I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe. We're concentrating on falling apart. We were contenders, we're throwing the fight But I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, in us. This is the grace that only we can bestow. This is the price you pay for loss of control. This is the break in the bend, This is the closest of calls. This is the reason you're alone, This is the rise and the fall. We're concentrating on falling apart. We were contenders, we're throwing the fight But I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe. We're concentrating on falling apart. We were contenders, we're throwing the fight But I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, in us.

I'm not sure the title is directly related to the lyrics. It's just 'one of those band titles,' but there's a few lines that could relate back to the title, such as "And its all from watching TV," etc. You'd have to ask Brand New about it, I guess.
