Brand New - Okay, I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't Lyrics

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're never alone.
Coordinate brain and mouth.
Then ask me what it's 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 who ever they're there with.
This is war.
Every line is about who I don't wanna write about anymore.
I hope you come down with something they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for.
Holding on to your grudge.
Oh, it's so hard to have someone to love.
And keeping quiet is hard.
Cause you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start.
At least pretend you didn't want to get caught.

We're consentrating on falling apart.
We were contenders, now throwing the fight.
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe... in us.

Oh, were so c-c-c-contraversial.
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 in my body that works harder than my heart.
And it's 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 consentrating on falling apart.
We were contenders, now throwing the fight.
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe...
We're consentrating on falling apart.
We were contenders, now throwing the fight.
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe... in us.

This is the craze only we can bestow.
This is the price you pay for loss of control.
This is the break in the battle.
This is the closest of calls.
This is the reason you're alone.
This is the reason you fall.

We're consentrating on falling apart. We were contenders, now throwing the fight.
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe...
We're consentrating on falling apart. We were contenders, now throwing the fight.
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe... in us.

this is the best song on deja entendu, hands down. the intro is absolutely amazing. the lyrics, the guitar, that sweet echo sound... the rest of the song isn't bad either ;-)... i also like the part where the song slows down again and it goes "This is the craze...", really nice. also, i heard the demo version of this song and i have to say the final release is a lot better =).. the intro guitar and the guitar part where they're slowing the song back down are shortened heavily, they probably cut out almost a minute...

I agree, those are the best lyrics of any Brand New song IMO...

My favorite from 'Deja Entendu', it gives you a great sense of what brand new is capable of. Great lyrics and ending.
